Powder keg off the coast of Greece
Close to Piraeus 25 meter yacht Ocean 5 was rocked by several explosions. A fire started on the ship and then it sank. At the time of the incident there were 10 people on board, all of them managed to jump into the sea and escape.
Death of a Legend
The shipyard's classic 1953 yacht perished in a fire while awaiting repair work in Huntsville, Alabama. Among the owners of the 78-ft. Notorious- President of the U.S.A Gerald Ford and media mogul Randolph Hearst. This boat during filming Planet of the Apes used by actor Charlton Heston. Unfortunately, the fire almost completely destroyed the yacht standing on the pier: it was taken out in parts. There was no one on board at the time of the fire.
Undoubtedly, the most famous round-the-world sailing race in recent times is the VOLVO OCEAN RACE. It is held once every 3 years, and Volvo 65 class sailing yachts take part in it. The Volvo 65 is a single-hull, single-mast sailing yacht with a maximum hull length of 21.5 meters and a maximum draft of 4.5 meters. The swinging false keel deviates from the vertical axis by no more than 45°. The team consists of 10 people plus a special correspondent on board who has no right to participate in the management of the yacht. The task of this person is to prepare and send photo, video, and audio materials about the progress of the race and the work of the team. The winner of the regatta is the team that scores the maximum number of points at all stages of the regatta. Based on the results of the ocean stages, the team receives a number of points equal to the number of yachts that started, minus the number of yachts that finished before the given team.
The VOLVO OCEAN RACE race contains 9 stages, and the length of the route is almost 40,000 nautical miles. The 2014-2015 race started in October 2014 in Spain and should finish at the end of June 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden, circling the globe.
Yachts of the Volvo 65 class are equipped with the most modern navigation equipment, as well as the latest satellite communications.
VOLVO OCEAN RACE 2014-2015 started on October 11, 2014 from the port of Alicante (Spain). 7 yachts under the control of the most experienced professional skippers crossed the starting line. The first stage of the race – Alicante – Cape Town (South Africa) ended in early November 2014. The second stage of the round-the-world trip – Cape Town – Abu Dhabi (UAE) started on November 19, 2014 and finished in the capital of the United Arab Emirates on the eve of Christmas and New Year 2015. However, out of seven yachts that started, only six reached the finish line. While crossing the Indian Ocean, the Danish yacht “Team Vestas Wind”, under the command of the most experienced skipper Chris Nicholson, was wrecked.
Fortunately, no casualties were avoided, but the yacht dropped out of further combat.
Tens of thousands of fans of this race around the world to this day remain in extreme bewilderment, how did a ship equipped with the most modern navigation aids, driven by a four-time VOLVO OCEAN RACE veteran, the most experienced Chris Nicholson, end up on the reefs?! How did the yacht sink? How could it happen that the ship's course was laid through the reefs indicated on all the maps?!
Here's what we know. By the evening of November 29, 2014, the yacht “Team Vestas Wind” arrived in the reef area of the Cargados Carajos Shoal reefs, located approximately 200 miles northeast of the island. Mauritius (Mauritius). These reefs are also known as St. Brandon's Rocks. The reef stretches from north to south for more than 50 km, and is about 5 km wide. And that same night, unexpectedly for everyone, the yacht hit the reef. Fortunately, only the ship was damaged. All crew members survived and were evacuated the next day by rescuers who arrived.
At a press conference, Chris Nicholson explained: “Before the disaster, we noted that there were seamounts in the area, depths ranging from 3000 m to 40 m. There was little current in the area, and we decided that a depth of 40 m was more than safe for passage ."
What was this “issue of scale” that led to the crash? Let's figure it out.
We remember from school that scale is the ratio of the linear dimensions of the image of an object in the drawing to its actual dimensions. Those. if we see numbers on the map - 1: 100,000, this means that one centimeter on the map is equal to one hundred thousand centimeters on the ground. Or, in other words, 1 cm – 1 km.
In the pre-computer era, a classification of marine navigation charts by scale and purpose was adopted:
- general (scale 1:5,000,000 - 1:1,000,000);
- track (scale 1: 1,000,000 - 1: 100,000);
- private (scale 1: 100,000 - 1:25,000);
- sea plans (scale 1:25,000 - 1:500);
General charts are intended for a general study of navigation conditions and general navigation calculations, preliminary navigation when sailing in the open sea at a great distance from the coast. Route charts - to ensure navigation between ports at a considerable distance from the coast and out of sight. Private charts - to ensure navigation in close proximity to the shore or in cramped conditions (in narrows, skerries, etc.) Marine plans - for guidance when entering ports, bays, roadsteads, anchorages, etc.
From the very first lessons on navigation at a nautical school, cadets are taught that navigation plots should be carried out on a map of the largest scale available for a given navigation area. But this was in the pre-computer era. With the advent of chart plotters and electronic cartographic navigation systems, navigators were able to independently change the scale of the electronic map image. And many, having become accustomed to the idea of the infallible accuracy of electronics, having unreasonably endowed smart devices with intelligence, stopped thinking about the seemingly simplest features of computer cartography. This is what the Cargados-Carajos reef looks like on an electronic map at a scale of approximately 1:500,000:
It is not difficult to notice that the reef, as such, is not visible. Just some two blue spots and no more. Using something like this image, the navigator of “Team Vestas Wind” plotted the same fateful course that led the yacht to the rocks.
But in the figure below, the same reef is on the same electronic map, only on a scale of approximately 1:250,000.
