6 FOREWORD BY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT DIVISION The South African marine manufacturing industry comprises not only of the manufacturing of ships and boats but also the repairing of vessels and rigs. The manufacturing of these products and services are aimed to serve both the commercial and leisure market segments. It is important to note that the manufacturing of ships and boats differ from that of other traditional manufacturing sectors since manufacturing takes place over an extended time frame requiring different skills sets in different time slots. Even though the output is small in quantities and takes on average more than a year to complete the value of projects are high. 1

7 In the 2011/12 financial year, ship/boat building was identified as a priority sector as it has emerged that the sector is a significant contributor to the South African economy. Research has indicated that the manufacture and repair of ships and vessels in South Africa is viewed as a highly strategic industry with strong and extended linkages for economic growth and employment multipliers. In 2013 the Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) undertook research on the feasibility of designating working vessels for local procurement. This process culminated in the designation of working vessels with a 60% local content. To this effect, an instruction note was issued by the National Treasury on 21 August The rationale behind designating working vessels for local procurement lies with the fact that large amounts of vessels are being procured by government and State-Owned Companies (SOCs). Considering the challenges of unemployment in South Africa and the opportunity offered by public procurement of working vessels, designation of the sector can resuscitate the local ship/boat building industry and thus boost job creation across numerous sub-sectors and value chains. The ship and boat building sector desk is continuously looking at ways that can be used in the local manufacturing sector to develop and grow the industry. The main objective of this industry guide is to provide information on a list of highly skilled ship and boat manufacturers, component manufacturers and ship repairers in South Africa. In conclusion, the dti has come far since 2011 when the Industrial Development Division (IDD) allocated permanent resources to assist with the development of the ship and boat building and associated services industry. Great strides have been made to resuscitate the industry and to create and save sustainable jobs in the marine manufacturing industry.

8 3 OVERVIEW

9 The South African Marine Manufacturing Industry Over the past couple of decades, the South African boat building industry has gained international credibility, regularly winning international awards and building a strong reputation among international boat designers and consumers. A notable success is that South Africa has grown to become the world s second largest producer of recreational catamarans, after France. This international acclaim is not only for the final produced watercraft (including other vessels) but additionally for components such as sails and masts. Additionally, South African companies have developed capacity in niche segments in commercial and public sector markets, for example, fire-fighting boats and crew transport boats for the oil and gas industry (Kaiser Associates, 2012). Overall, numerous reports have shown that the industry has undergone an efficient industrial restructuring that makes it internationally competitive on price, quality (both in finish and sailing abilities) and durability. The South African boat building industry is an export-oriented industry. However, like the global trade market of recreational and leisure boats, the South African marine manufacturing industry was negatively impacted by the economic crash of 2008 due to its heavy reliance on exports (Laubscher, 2011). In 2014, the South African marine manufacturing industry contributed only 1% of the global exports in yachts and other vessels for pleasure and sports (Trademap, 2015). In comparison with Italy, which contributed 21% of global exports, it is evident that the South African marine industry is small relative to the global industry. Geographical Distribution of Marine Manufacturing Industry The marine manufacturing industry is largely based in the coastal regions of South Africa, i.e. Western Cape (predominantly Cape Town), KZN (predominantly Durban) and the Eastern Cape (predominantly Port Elizabeth), Although the coastal regions have the largest contribution towards boat manufacturing, the Gauteng province also contributes to industry manufacturing specifically in the smaller craft and motor boat market for inland use (Veich, 2013). The Western Cape is the largest marine manufacturing centre within South Africa, generating over R1 billion in 2014 in export revenue (Quantec, 2015), and houses approximately 70% of boat builders. About 18% of boat builders are based in KZN and 12% in the rest of the country, but particularly in the Eastern Cape (Urban-Econ Stakeholder Database, 2015). The main commercial centres for marine manufacturing within the Western Cape include Cape Town and small towns such as St. Helena Bay, Saldanha Bay, Atlantis, Kommetjie, Simon s Town, Swellendam, George, and Knysna. In KwaZulu-Natal, Durban is the leading centre for marine manufacturing. Boatbuilding operations are also located in Park Rynie and Scottburgh on KwaZulu- Natal s South Coast. Production centres in the Eastern Cape include Port Saint Francis, Port Elizabeth, the Port of Ngqura (Coega), Port Alfred and East London. A small proportion of boat manufacturers is situated in Gauteng, with the province s major manufacturing operations located in Benoni, Walkerville, and Randvaal. Imports and Exports Based on the Quantec Research Database, SA Export Values, in 2015, yachts and other leisure and recreational boats were the most popular type of watercraft exported, which contributed to 84% (R1,504,954,400) of total export value for ships, boats, and other floating structures in This category (yachts and other leisure and recreational boats) has shown significant growth in export value since In 2010, the value of this category was R677,765,677 and grew to R1,504,954,400 in This accounts for an average annual growth of 14% within this category. The graph on the next page on the next page illustrates the percentage contribution of each of the subcategories of the yachts and other leisure and recreational boats category regarding exports and imports. 4

Based on the graph, sailboats dominate South Africa s exports in the category: yachts and other vessels for pleasure or sports, comprising of 68.6% of South Africa s total exports in this category in Motorboats follow this at 19.6%, and inflatable pleasure craft at 6.4% and other crafts contributing to 5.4% of South Africa s total exports of yachts other vessels for pleasure or sports. Regarding imports, the largest percentage of imports is related to other crafts (this includes for example rowing boats, canoes, sculls, etc.) with 55.3% of imports related to this category. This is followed by motorboats (33.5%), inflatables (7.8%) and sailboats (3.4%).

Local procurement levels in the marine manufacturing industry remain low, with less than 20% of locally made boats remaining within the country s borders or territorial waters. Since 1994, the South African government has spent approximately R19 billion on working vessels, with only R900 million of this spend going to local procurement (IPAP, 2015). It has been suggested through the Industrial Policy Action Plan that the industry s value can be increased through the key intervention of increasing local procurement, specifically for local working boats. This intervention is expected to improve the domestic performance of the boatbuilding industry, which is viewed as a strategic industry and an economic multiplier that will generate employment and positive spin-offs across the sector ,617 ZAR thousand ZAR thousand 7,235-14,470 ZAR thousand 0,9% 2,2% 3,2% 3,0% > 36,174 ZAR thousand 90% Western Cape Province Eastern Cape 2012 (value) KZN 2013 (value) Gauteng Other 2014 (value) 2015 (value) Average Annual Growth (%) Western Cape R496,185,084 R817,668,186 R1,054,611,116 R1,364,224, % Eastern Cape R27,510,764 R26,155,203 R16,501,333 R45,624, % KZN R33,735,566 R29,365,750 R33,011,291 R48,418, % Gauteng R40,070,199 R21,403,938 R18,678,056 R33,548, % Source: Quantec Data,

12 Industry Associations, Councils, and Various Clusters The existence of marine industry associations, councils and various clusters provides a support based network of industry players that have the opportunity and capability to collaborate, share information and address challenges and opportunities faced by the industry. The following provides an overview of the existing marine industry associations, council, and various clusters The South African Boat Builders Export Council (SABBEX) is focused on the support of exports. The council is a major contributor to establishing South Africa as a globally competitive boatbuilding export country, with sustainable export growth within the Department of Trade and Industry s framework. The South African Institute of Marine Engineers and Naval Architects (SAIMENA) is the only technical society in South Africa dedicated to marine engineers and naval architects. The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) is responsible for the implementation of current International and National Safety Regulations regarding the Maritime Industry as well as upon all recreational marine vessels within its jurisdiction. The marine industry also consists of the following clusters: Nelson Mandela Bay Maritime Cluster The ethekwini Maritime cluster The Department of Trade and Industry through its Industrial Policy Action Plan 2016 along with support from SABBEX, SAMSA, ethekwini Maritime Cluster, The South African Association of Shipbuilders and Repairs, The Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) has identified the need to develop a ship/ boat building/repair cluster. Clustering can encourage collaborative approaches within the industry, with related sectors sharing relevant services between them. Through the Industrial Policy Action Plan, it has been recognized that all the sub-sectors in the marine industry all experience similar constraints - e.g. infrastructure, skills development, transformation, etc. The initiative to develop a ship/boat building/repair cluster is thus aimed at assisting the industry to be more productive, internationally competitive and better positioned to gain access to financial resources to invest in tooling and upgrading of facilities. These marine industry associations, council, and various clusters assist in facilitating industry representation and information-sharing and provide supporting services to industry stakeholder including the private sector. Conclusion Overall, the industry is primarily dominated by boat builders that manufacture commercial and recreational craft from composites and aluminium. Recreational multihulls dominate (both sail and power) with other companies producing semirigid inflatables, monohulls, and small power boats. Notably, most of the companies in the industry are vertically integrated, whereby the company is directly involved in the design, the manufacturing, sales and marketing of its products, the export process, and after sales service for its clients. 7

14 Introducing the Mandela Bay Composites Cluster The Mandela Bay Composites Cluster represents and advances the interests of and commercial opportunities in the composites sector in The Cluster, a national initiative, is a resource to industry, new entrants, innovators and researchers as we collectively seek to do business with improved cost, quality and delivery, according to global best practice. Particular benefits, and cluster-oriented learning will accrue to cluster participants, who have already initiated several landmark projects, that is enabling South Africa to exploit massive economic growth, job creation and profitable commercial ventures. With the endorsement and collaboration of South Africa s Department of Trade and Industry, the cluster coordinates R&D, skills development and industrialization efforts to activate value chains that make use of non-corrosive and lightweight composite technology. The MBCC-NPC is governed by a Board and managed by the Cluster Management Organisation (CMO), which follows a value-chain approach to stimulate collaboration, innovation and industrialization. South Africa. 9

15 The MBCC is a strategic entity for the composites industry at both national and regional level. At national level the MBCC plays a strategic role as a cross-sectoral composite technology platform in support of the advanced manufacturing industries around the country. At regional level the MBCC plays a strategic role in support of regional composite companies who cut across the prevailing manufacturing sectors that exist in the region. 10

16 MBCC Vision To expand a growth-enabling multistakeholder composites eco-system for voicing and implementing the needs of the composite stakeholders in terms of skills, technology, industrialisation and transformation. MBCC Mission To unite the composites industry via a single organisation that can voice and implement the needs of the industry. To implement a world class advanced manufacturing mindset based on quality assurance across all stakeholders involved. To align and inform government instruments and policy to the needs of the composites industry. To stimulate innovation based on the principles of trinity thinking (integration of polymer materials science, composite product design/engineering and manufacturing), value chain analysis, lightweighting and life cycle cost reduction. Supporting industry The MBCC is advancing the South African Composites manufacturing Eco-system by means of: Linking people Skills development Enterprise development Technology implementation Testing and standards Value chain localisation Syndicated applications Through its accredited Think Composites! 1-day course, the MBCC not only brings fundamental composite knowledge to the engineering community, but also raises awareness for composite technology, light-weighting, life cycle cost reduction among endusers and policy makers. Through the webpage and the database, the MBCC links the composites community across the various manufacturing sectors and informs them about (inter)national events, courses and technology demonstrations. The MBCC offers an onsite skills audit to participants that leads to a training plan in line with the growth path of companies, following which the training plan is rolled out via accredited workforce training. Finally, the MBCC brings together stakeholders of a particular value chain to assess how light-weighting and corrosion-resistance can enhance competitiveness. The resulting business opportunities will benefit cluster participants.

18 South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI) Location: Port Elizabeth Contact Person: Professor Malek Pourzanjani Website: Phone: The South African International Maritime Institute (SAIMI) is a direct outcome of Operation Phakisa, the South African government s initiative to unlock the economic potential of the oceans. These plans to grow the maritime economy depend on the availability of skilled people, along with the generation of knowledge and technological innovation that looks to the future. SAIMI is a multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder institute active in education, training and research across all aspects of the maritime sector. Filling a much-needed linking role between industry, education and training institutions and government, SAIMI helps to identify industry needs and opportunities, and facilitates the development of education and training programmes to provide the skills required by the maritime industry for technological innovation and global competitiveness. SAIMI works closely with the private sector and a number of Sector Education & Training Authorities (SETAs) to ensure that the country is identifying, equipping and grooming the next generation of maritime industry workers, artisans and professionals. With a mandate from the Department of Higher Education and Training, SAIMI is developing a national maritime skills development plan, based on the outcomes of the Operation Phakisa Oceans Economy focus areas and skills working groups convened by SAIMI. Comprising training providers, industry stakeholders and government representatives, the marine manufacturing skills working group is actively working to address skills deficits and ensure that generic trades can be augmented with a marine specialisation through shop-floor mentoring and short courses. 13

19 One of the first outcomes is that SAIMI has played an active role in development of the boat building and ship building apprenticeship, which will be registered with the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations. The Ship Building qualification is a first for South Africa, and will succeed the outdated Shipwright apprenticeship. The apprenticeships include a recognition of prior learning component to allow people who have learned on the job to obtain formal recognition of their skills. Mentorship is vital for the transfer of expertise to young people entering the industry SAIMI facilitates mentorships for artisans through partnerships with SETAs, Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges and industry partners. Transformation and education and training are critical for the boat and ship building industry to meet local content and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) targets. SAIMI supports the upskilling of black people, youth, and, in particular women and those with disabilities, and is piloting skills training for boat builders and composite trades workers in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry in three provinces. SAIMI also works at school level, educating youngsters who are making career choices about the opportunities in the maritime sector. It partners with local and international companies to expose youngsters to the industry, and to assist them in their career path. SAIMI also manages South Africa s flagship maritime training initiative, the National Cadet Programme, which addresses the need to increase the participation of South Africans working as professional mariners on both foreign and locally-owned vessels. The programme offers practical training and training berths in partnership with more than a dozen shipping lines, enabling students to obtain an internationally-recognised Certificate of Competency (CoC) as either a Deck Officer or Marine Engineering Officer in accordance with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Convention on the Standards, Training and Certification of Watch-keepers (STCW). At a tertiary level SAIMI supports research and development through the establishment of research chairs in partnership with Universities across the country. Focus areas include naval architecture and oil and gas exploration. SAIMI is working with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) to implement the Research, Innovation and Knowledge Management Roadmap for the maritime sector in order to strengthen research and technology development capacity, develop an information resource centre for the centre, and offer bursaries and postgraduate study opportunities. 14

22 How does one save the planet surely it s the stuff of superheroes in tights and capes? Apparently not. Ordinary South Africans like Braam Malherbe and Wayne Robertson demonstrate that superheroes are indeed just that, ordinary. But they do have extraordinary passion, discipline and the hutzpah to take on and accomplish the impossible. How else would one be able to make 2.4 million strokes in a tiny single rower craft, completely unassisted within 92 days, while facing perilous dangers and near-death on every single one of those 92 days? With 2.4 Million strokes, that s how you help save the planet - that s how many strokes you d need to row from Cape Town to Rio. For most of us, it s just too much effort to pick up a plastic bag in the street or even stub out a cigarette before carelessly tossing it out of a car window, let alone attempt a few rowing strokes. A while back Braam Malherbe launched his DOT challenge Do One Thing to help save the planet from environmental degradation and total destruction and even extinction. DOT stands for Do One Thing. Braam explains that it is a simple acronym that is so much more than a trend, a fad or a catchphrase. These three little letters boldly aim to unite the world in the hope that, together, we can still save our planet. By globally connecting like-minded individuals through a single website and app, the DOT movement encourages anyone who is willing to just Do One Thing to protect and preserve our planet Earth from further destruction and harm. Boating South Africa (Boating SA) spoke to Wayne Robertson to get a first-hand account of the DOT Challenge s epic world-first completely unassisted Cape-to-Rio rowing adventure. Wayne s background When one considers Robertson background, it s understandable why he, together with Malherbe s successfully pulled of this extreme challenge. Firstly he s a businessman in the boat building 17

23 industry and therefore understands what it means to take risks, plan and prepare for these and knuckle down to get the job done. He owns Wayne Roberston Yachts, which he started in 2006 and has a lot of experience in the boat building industry, not only in South Africa, but also in the United States. In South Africa, he greatly benefited from being mentored by the likes of Jerry Caine and John Roberston of Roberston and Caine. Secondly, he s an accomplished life-long sailor, and has enormous respect for the ocean, especially the southern oceans. He sailed with the likes of Bertie Reid, one of South Africa s legends in competitive and adventure sailing. Bertie was the first South African to complete three single-handed circumnavigations. Wayne is no stranger to extreme sports and adventure. and is an extreme endurance athlete with his main discipline being long-distance off-road mountain biking events. To crown it all, he is an experienced surfer and has been surfing for more than 35 years. Thirdly, he has practiced Shukokai martial arts for years. Shukokai teaches you how to use your body to generate force or power and understand the importance of self-control key in this is to master your thoughts and emotions and tell your body how to respond. This skill is particularly useful for rowing. The duo s achievement is all the more remarkable, considering that prior to this adventure, Robertson had zero rowing experience. Moreover he only had six days to prepare for the challenge and a paltry three hours of coaching on how to row! You simply cannot take on a challenge like this without having achieved a very high level of self-mastery or discipline. 18

24 What does this epic world-first mean for SA s boating industry? While the boat was designed and built in the UK, it s the mariners mental toughness and the cause that fuelled them that demonstrate what Boating SA is capable of. These soft assets are indispensable for a strong and viable boating industry as they are underpinned by critical values such as self-mastery (an attitude of taking full responsibility and not blaming others), integrity, attention to detail, quality and service focus, etc. In short, it s a way of doing things in the SA boat industry that provides a key competitive edge. It also explains why the majority of boats that we build in South Africa are sailed by the boat builders to their clients. They might be referred to as soft assets but they are the hardest to cultivate, nurture and demonstrate on a continuous basis. Robertson says that this world-first sets the benchmark for Boating SA. Ït buys confidence in the local industry, confidence in our people and an expectation of very high quality and standards. The boat s design According to Malherbe and Roberstson, the boat aptly symbolized the cause they pursued just like the planet contains absolutely everything we need for a meaningful life, such as food, water, shelter, solid relationships, etc, the boat also contained all these elements for their survival, but the voyage brought into much sharper focus the need to get along with each other to survive and sustain the boat and themselves. The pair was acutely aware that they had to manage their resources, including the boat 19

25 and especially their relationship very carefully to ensure their survival. They were indeed a microcosm of the planet and if they could not fix problems as they arose they would not have survived over 92 days, they did not have a single argument, despite experiencing the most extreme conditions and physical endurance. At 6.8m long, it is an extremely small single rower-double oar craft with a polyester foam sandwich construction, providing only 30cm of protection from the ocean. It is very light and not designed for the southern oceans at all. During the voyage, the pair could feel the stresses on the hull, especially in the areas that have no core. Roberstson s company prepared the boat for the voyage, adding a multitude of features such as a much-needed shade cover. He has no doubt that South Africa can build a much better boat more suited for the southern seas. Their experience While there were many challenges, the most severe were the lack of power (they depended on solar power for, among others navigation and fresh water supply); not colliding with the many big ships they encountered; the severe storms and the lack of sleep. With only 48 days of sun out of the 92 days that they were at sea, they had to rely on the wet food for most of their fluids during a very critical period and use the stars to navigate as they could not run their avionics 24/7 due to the lack of power. They have a deeper appreciation for fresh water. Without the power to run the desalination equipment, they had to use a hand pump to produce fresh water it took two hours to pump just four liters of water! They also needed the avionics to spot any ships that were on a collision course with them and had 27 near-collisions. The wakes of these ships also caused severe problems, with the average wake generating 7 to 8 meter waves. determination, discipline and teamwork that helped them right the boat in this instance. While they each respectively had two-hour shifts of rowing and two hours of sleep, it was impossible to sleep in the confined space and the erratic movement and stresses on the hull due to the crashing waves and constant huge swell and with the lack of power to produce water, they had to pump water when they were supposed to be sleeping or resting. What really made the difference? Roberstson believes the most important factor that helped them succeed in their quest, was the fact that they managed their relationship on the boat so well. They needed to be completely transparent with each other this meant that they had to be completely honest with each other and immediately raise issues of concern to avoid any conflict that might dissipate their energy and frustrate their efforts. They also had to inspire one another and boost each other s morale, when either of them became despondent or the task at hand threatened to overwhelm him. It is indeed remarkable that the pair pulled off this world-first, when one considers that they had only met each other a few days before the voyage they might not have known each other, but what they had in common, were a set of values and a purpose that provided a solid foundation for their success. Boating SA is indeed very proud that a pair of South African rowers took on the impossible and prevailed, and in the process raised the awareness that each one of us can do something about saving our earth that is in peril from environmental degradation and climate change. During the many storms they encountered, they capsized 5 times, and once were under water for about 5 minutes. It was only dogged 20

26 In 2014, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) removed sailing from the 2020 Paralympic Games programme. This dramatic move shocked competitive sailors world-wide, but more so the sailors with disabilities. Sailors with disabilities is one of the few sports in which all sailors irrespective of their degree of abilities can participate on equal terms. Sailing was first introduced to the Paralympic Games at the Atlanta 1996 Games, but only as a sport to promote it in other words the athletes did not compete for any medals. It became a medal sport at the Sydney 2000 Paralympic Games. The Para World Sailing Committee who is responsible for sailing people with disabilities worldwide, was completely blindsided by the IPC s decision. According to the IPC, sailing was dropped as it did not meet their (the IPC Handbook s) minimum criteria for worldwide reach. The Para World Sailing Committee clearly has their work cut out for them if they want to see sailing reinstituted in the Paralympic Games. The task ahead is huge. One of the challenges includes the prohibitive costs it is an extremely expensive sport. Moreover, relying on a commercial strategy to develop and grow the sport is a non-starter, as the effective demand for boats both adapted for and/or specifically designed for sailors with disabilities is too low. A few people in South Africa, are however not resting on their laurels. They are undaunted by the many obstacles and are developing a viable socio-business model that will demonstrate it is not only the profit motive that can deliver efficient solutions to meet people s needs. Human passion to serve others can indeed be an equal, if not more powerful motivator. Among the most notable South Africans involved in this quest are people like Peter Jacops, Alex Simonis, Martin Voogd, Russel Volmer, Mandy Latimore and Luan Gray, to name a few. 21

27 A South African vision for competitive disabled sailing the SV14 project South Africa has an incredibly strong boat building industry, with a well-established international focus. It was therefore no surprise when in 2015, the challenge went out via social media to create a boat designed and built specifically for sailors with disabilities, as well as easily available to them, Cape Town based designers Alex Simonis and Martin Voogd immediately stepped up to the plate. Peter Jacops, a CE inspector (who posted the challenge) met with Alex and Martin as well as Russel Vollmer, an experienced and active sailors with disabilities (and an ex-commodore of the Royal Cape Yacht Club) to discuss how they could start to help South Africa develop and grow competitive disabled sailing with the ultimate aim of assisting the Para World Sailing Committee get the sport back in the Paralympic Games. Thus the SV14-project was born a boat that is modern-looking, safe, versatile, comfortable, affordable and easy to handle by either one or two persons. The SV14 not only meets the rigorous requirements of efficiently and safely pushing through the water, but also provides a comfortable and adaptable seating arrangement to allow sailors with disabilities to sail and enjoy the ride much as an able-bodied person would - Alex and Martin have given our boating industry the edge, by being the first to design a boat to meet both the requirements of disabled sailors for firstly speed with safety and secondly comfort. But there s more the SV14 also provides disabled sailors with enormous flexibility currently none of the boats in this class provide sailors with the flexibility to use their boat with just the mainsail, the mainsail and jib and/or the mainsail, jib and spinnaker. This means that the same boat can be used by a sailor who starts as a beginner, develops to intermediate level and moves on to competitive level. 22

28 Russel, who is one of the local test-pilots for the prototype says, The SV14 demonstrates that South Africa is at the top-of-the-tree when it comes to boatbuilding for sailors with disabilities. Robertson and Caine (one of SA s top boat builders) threw their hat in the ring and built the South African prototype at their cost. SA Sailing is also keen to assist and are willing to sponsor the building of 5 boats the challenge is to find a competent boat builder who has the production time and who can sponsor the labour time as well. Luan Gray, a lifelong sailor and qualified sailing instructor who is pioneering a Disabled Sailing Programme in South Africa has also teamed up with the SV14 project. Luan and Russel believes that adaptive sailing has huge potential for expansion within Africa as a whole. What exactly is the SV14? SV stands for Simonis-Voogd who designed this impressive sailing boat and the 14 is the length of the boat, i.e. 14 foot. Simonis says the idea of an affordable craft was inspired by the British Mirror dinghy that was launched in The Mirror had a simple design and was made of plywood stitched together with copper wire and joints were sealed with glass fibre. Today, there are over 70,000 of these craft, an achievement that is unequalled in this class of dinghy. Simonis explains that the Mirror dinghy can t simply be replicated in South Africa, or elsewhere in South Africa. Today we do all our design work on computers, making use of 3D solid modeling programs. This allows us to design a very high level of detailing and accuracy, simply impossible to do by hand. Besides that, all these programs allow us to design better boats and it also gives us the opportunity to generate accurate and efficient output for direct CNC cutting. The end result of the design is a magnificent sailing boat that can be used not only recreationally but competitively in top-class events such as the Paralymics. On some of the technical aspects, Simonis says, This is a 14ft modern yacht which can be completely built out of 10 sheets of 4 x 8 plywood, 1 sheet of 3 x 6 12 mm steel and 22 x 10 strips of hardwood. Simonis says they prepared a CNC cutting package using these raw materials, which can be put together like a jigsaw puzzle to create the boat in an estimated time of less than 200 man-hours. The amazing thing is the boat can be built by your average DIY guy and with no expensive tools. The materials are also easily available and the plans and cutting patterns can be downloaded at no cost via the internet. According to Simonis, cutting to 2D CNC is also not a problem. 2D CNC cutting is so widely used that this can also be done all around the world in a place near you. In short, this is a phenomenal sailing boat that is optimally adapted for disabled sailors to experience being in control of a boat going at speed, with confidence, but at a fraction of the cost. Excluding labour cost, and other non-essential boat accessories, the boat costs for a basic SV14 (in current terms) is about R50,000.. What are the medium to long term objectives? Simonis says they are busy rolling out prototypes in South Africa and Thailand and aim to produce prototypes in the USA, Mauritius and the Netherlands. They are managing the building of the boats through the website org, where aspirant boatbuilders can get information on the costs and where to source materials. The site also has information about the project and the design and allows anyone who is interested to register and get the plans to start building. Upon registration, you will get a build number that will be upgraded to a hull and sail number once the boat is finished. Each one will be encouraged to upload information such as who is building it, who it is for and who the sponsor is. The designers also want to introduce a database with information about cost and suppliers around the world. 23

29 Russel is excited about the development part of the project which involves getting more sailors with disabilities interested in sailing. The idea is to possibly start with the Royal Cape Yacht Club as a base and include as many sailors with disabilities as possible in the club s sailing academy, then expand to other areas in South Africa and later the rest of Africa. This is all contingent on disabled sailing acquiring a critical mass of boats and here lies the biggest hurdle without the sufficient number of adapted boats like the SV14, the vision for disabled sailing will remain a dream. While the boats are relatively easy to build, a more representative structure is probably needed to promote the vision, assure quality, safety and leverage resources. The project potentially also offers a great opportunity to create more jobs, sponsored by public funds through coaching and mentoring people selected to build the boats, but it all requires a coherent, well- funded and well thought through strategy using an institution with the capacity to fully realise the vision. As this cannot be done commercially, a programmatic socio-business model, backed by sufficient resources must be designed and implemented to give the SV14-project a muchneeded boost in order to give SA s disabled sailing the momentum to realise their vision to compete at the highest level. To lend your support and expertise to this worthy cause or if you would like to build or sponsor a boat please contact Alex Simonis on sailing@sv14.org. Also visit the project s website: Technical Details The boat is 14ft long (4.35 meters) and is quite wide, with a very modern hull shape and a reversed angled bow similar to yachts seen in the round-the-world races such as the Volvo Ocean Race. The design adopts the most stringent safety requirements, not unlike those applied to the round-the-world racing yachts. A crew with disabilities has limited mobility, which means the boat must sail as upright as possible form stability and a low centre of gravity combined with a high ballast ratio (weight stability) optimise stability. The keel therefore, has a low centre of gravity bulb at the bottom, which yields a limit of positive stability close to 130 degrees. Each combination of two compartments (there are four watertight compartments) carries enough buoyancy to keep the boat afloat, even if there is a breach in one or more of the compartments. 3D modeling enables a modern sleek design with totally developable surfaces the boat can be completely built out of flat panels. While the bulb has a complex hydrodynamic shape with a requirement to be made out of a high-density steel, it can be simply made combining shapes CNC cut out of a flat plate of 12 mm steel. The bulb which weighs 110kg with a ballast ratio of over 60%, partly helps to keep the boat at optimum heel angle of less than 20 degrees. Limiting the heel allows sailors with disabilities to be seated at an angle either way up to 20 degrees which means they can sit upright in most sailing conditions, thus providing a far more comfortable voyage. The rig is optimised to release sail pressure when a gust hits the sail. It is a free-standing, tapered mast made out of two standard size sections of aluminium pipe and is based on the international Laser Class (GRP one-man dinghy). The total weight of the boat including ballast is designed to stay under 200kg, and can be towed on a single axle trailer by a standard family car. There is a single lifting point to allow fairly hassle-free lifting of the boat.. 24

124 BUYERS GUIDE Introduction Yacht Clubs Research South Africa has the most developed economy in the southern African region. The major strengths of the South African economy are its abundant natural resources, its growing manufacturing sector and considerable tourism potential. South Africa boasts an advanced and well regulated banking sector which aims generally to promote credibility, stability and economic growth. The principal legal instrument which seeks to achieve these aims is the Banks Act, 1990 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The South African Reserve Bank, the central bank of the country, plays an important role in banking regulation and supervision. The South African Boat Building Export Council (SABBEX) SABBEX is a National Export Council tasked with building South Africa as a globally competitive boatbuilding export country. SABBEX has a Code of Conduct for members and prospective buyers may enquire as to the level of accreditation for a company (Full, Emerging and Affiliated). Not being accredited by SABBEX is a neutral position for potential customers who would then make decisions based on their own information and research of a boat builder. Ensure that you have conducted appropriate and extensive research into both the vessel and the company. Contact SABBEX for information on member accreditation status. What exactly are you buying? Confirm exactly what is included in the purchase price such as. What taxes/import duties will be applied to the purchase? Does the boat need to be built to international standards such as CE, NMMA, BV, etc? Is the deposit refundable as the majority of them are not? Purchase agreements/contracts Seek legal advice and counsel and have the contract checked by an attorney. Ensure that you receive your own copy of the contract and sign it before witnesses. Warranty procedures should be clearly written and understood by all parties concerned. Address all issues PRIOR to the signing of the contract. Most South African manufacturers have clear procedures and well-written contracts, and these are there to protect both the seller and the buyer. 119

125 Warranty Advice Warranties can present a problem for purchasers, builders and sellers. Traditionally maritime warranties are rectified at port of launch. Since, in most cases a yacht will have sailed away, the question of how to handle a warranty claim at distance arises. There are also issues around equipment warranties and equipment manufacturers may also claim that builders have not installed their equipment correctly. Therefore procedures for handling warranties must be written into the contract. It is is normal to state that the builder has the opportunity to rectify any defect at their cost, or by their nominations of a subcontractor. If an owner wishes to nominate their own contractor, it would be normal for the owner to be paid the price it would have cost the builder. All this obviously can lead to problems and in such cases the services of an Arbitrator can be most useful. Hiring a Surveyor Contact a surveyor and ask him to conduct a survey and specify exactly what you want. Ensure that you understand what the surveyor s report will contain and obtain a quotation from the surveyor in writing including all other expenses relating to travel etc. Legal/Arbitration Resolving problems between builders and owners through the courts become time consuming and expensive. Unless issues are very serious, arbitration can be the most effective method of solving disputes. Arbitrators may be Maritime Lawyers or Surveyors depending on whether it is a legal problem or a technical one. Arbitrators are trained in the dispassionate resolution of problems based on documentation and verbal evidence. Experience has shown that the use of arbitration is frequently the most satisfactory way of solving owner and builder disputes. Stage payments on the vessel should be made upon recommendation by the surveyor. 120

126 Surveys For any purchaser, a survey by a professional Surveyor is a worthwhile investment. For a boat under construction the Surveyor will audit the boatyard s progress through the moulding, fitting of modules, electrical system, fitting of engines, mast, launch and trials. This will result in a report of the build and a certificate. The survey documents are valuable records and will be important for resale of the yacht. They will also be baseline documents for any warranty claims. It is important to use professionally qualified Surveyors with years of experience of surveying a variety of yacht types. Completion of Sale Once all of the above are completed to the satisfaction of both parties, a bill of sale is made by the owner for the buyer (Your surveyor should advise as to what this should contain). The owner is then paid in accordance with this joint understanding. Handover to Owner There are a number of handover options available: The owner travels to South Africa to collect the boat and either sails the boat to its destination or hires a skipper to do so OR the boat builder sends a skipper to deliver the boat to the owner. SAMSA regulations The South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA) Completion of Build has regulations which apply to South African registered vessels. SAMSA must be informed of the commencement With the builder, establish an appropriate of building any yacht or small craft intended for commercial facility at which to launch the vessel and purposes. Boat builders in South Africa are conversant ensure you are aware of all associated with the rules which are applied to the craft they are costs. Ensure that the vessel undergoes constructing. Additional information can be a commissioning process which entails obtained from specialist consultants and the testing of all systems and equipment Surveyors or directly from SAMSA. based on criteria outlined by the surveyor. Make arrangements with the builder to conduct sea trials of the vessel, ensuring that you are aware of what is being tested. Ensure that the appointed surveyor is involved in this process. 121

127 Clearing your own boat out of South Africa *Please note, these procedures can change and this is a guideline 1. Get a letter from the Yacht Club or Marina where you are moored confirming you don t owe them any money. It s a standard letter. 2. Go to the nearest Port Control Building (In Cape Town this is located at South Arm Rd, Table Bay Harbour) with your boat papers and the letter from the Yacht Club/Marina to get a clearance certificate. (In Cape Town the Customer Service Centre telephone number is ). There is no cost attached. (Customs are allowing you to clear out without the Port Clearance Certificate as long as you have the Yacht Club/Marina letter). 3. Go to Immigration (In Cape Town, Immigration House, Foreshore, 5th Floor, Telephone ) with the crew and passports (all crew must be present). 4. Go to Customs in Cape Town, 22 Hans Strijdom Ave, Ground floor, Telephone or to do the following: Complete clearing out form DA 1 as well as clearing for foreign destination form DA 3 Show proof of immigration clearance Produce Customs export clearance for the yacht (SAD 500 for export yachts; NEP for local yachts) Produce the letter from the yacht club etc. Produce temporary pass from SAMSA (for locally manufactured but as yet unregistered export boats). If boat is already foreign registered it will have its necessary papers but Customs will still request that SAMSA confirm in some way that these are okay. (In Cape Town, SAMSA, 2 Long Street, 19th floor, Telephone ). Customs will also ask for a SAMSA competency certificate for each skipper. 122
