EVOLVING TOWARDS YALI 3.O

By Team Sea Sakthi on






 





The spirit of the golden eagle is one that inspires awe and power, and it’s no surprise that it has become the focal point of an exciting new project. An energy-efficient catamaran, designed with the sleek and aerodynamic design of the bald eagle in mind, is being created by a team of innovators driven by the desire to create a sustainable vessel.

But our vision extends beyond mere performance. Sustainability is at the heart of this project. That’s why the team has been working tirelessly to design the cockpit of the catamaran using natural fibers that boast an impressive weight-to-strength ratio. After rigorous testing, the team discovered that pineapple fibers were the best material for their purpose. Not only are pineapple fibers exceptionally strong and durable, but they also excel in impact resistance tests and are marine-proof, making them the perfect choice for the cockpit construction.

To enhance the pineapple fibers, the team will be integrating carbon fiber, an incredibly lightweight material that brings added strength and reinforcement to the design. Using a sandwich construction method, the layers of pineapple and carbon fiber will be meticulously molded together to create a strong and Eco-friendly cockpit.

The manufacturing process is far from over, but the foundation has been set with the initial construction of the mold using plywood for the pattern profile and minimal thermocol for filling. The next steps in the process will involve the careful coating of the pattern with the chosen composite materials, leading to the creation of the eagle-inspired cockpit.

As the project continues to evolve, it’s clear that this team of innovators is committed to bring the spirit of a sustainable ethos to the maritime industry. Stay tuned for further updates, as the team delves deeper into the remaining construction phases and reveals more about how this project is contributing to a greener future

Imagine being part of a team that represents your country in a prestigious event that aims to revolutionize the maritime industry through sustainability. That's exactly what Team Sea Sakthi did! This group of 15 zealous minds belonging to KCT Garage, a forum that ignites innovation and skills of students from Kumaraguru College of Technology, made history as the first and only team to represent India at the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. Originating from a duo's bold application,the team coalesced, igniting the spirit of innovation and skill within KCT Garage. What followed was challenging but a rewarding endeavor to construct India's inaugural clean energy catamaran . Despite facing time constraints,the dedication prevailed, and Yali the catamaran named after a mythical creature gracefully sailed on the waters of Monaco in 2022, earned 6th position globally and  accolades for impactful communication. This achievement fueled the motivation, and the team began wo

DAY  0 of Monaco Energy Boat Challenge  We’ve just touched down in this beautiful principality on Saturday, and the excitement is  palpable. The jet lag hit us hard, but we powered through it, eager to dive into the Monaco  Energy Boat Challenge 2024. Sunday: Hitting the Waters Without missing a beat, our pilots were out on the ocean for trials. The day started early, and  the anticipation was high as we prepared to test our boat against the challenging conditions of    the Monaco waters. A highlight of the day was meeting Mr. Jacques Pastor, who was introduced to us by HE  Didier Gamerdinger, the Ambassador of Monaco to India. This session was incredibly  insightful. Mr. Pastor shared his extensive knowledge about the nuances of the waves and  winds unique to Monaco. Our pilots learned invaluable lessons on how to make quick,  strategic decisions during the races, giving us a much-needed edge.

The first day was a whirlwind of activity. We were like artists assembling a masterpiece, meticulously putting together the pieces of Yali 3.0 . The serene lake at Ukkadam was about to undergo a transformation. With a flurry of buoys, we meticulously recreated the iconic racetrack of Monaco , turning the tranquil waters into a miniature version of the famed racing environment. The excitement was palpable – we couldn't wait to see our creation come alive. When your dreams become your reality, sleep becomes an afterthought. As the first blush of dawn painted the sky, we were already buzzing with anticipation. The moment had arrived – it was time to breat
