Product Presentation Mooring Solutions for Yachts DualDocker GmbH Gewerbegebiet Nord 6 5222 Munderfing AUSTRIA www.dualdocker.com
Problem Conventional Mooring Systems Heavy, dirty mooring ropes Inefficient use of space A lot of movement with wind and waves High maintenance costs High impact on underwater world Lack of Convenience Disturbing rocking and rolling Challenging docking manoeuvre Damages Collisions with neighbouring yachts Storm damages Ropes caught up in propellers Conventional mooring systems: piles, bow ropes, anchors, Damages
Solution DualDocker - the innovation when it comes to docking yachts! No Bow Lines! Worry-free in tidal situations Stability regardless of changing water level High Damping Capacity No jerking ropes Worry-free during storms Stable and secure mooring Convenience Defined distance stern-to-quayside No more damages No risk for props getting caught in ropes No collisions with neighbour yachts or quayside Cost reduction 30 % lower investment and maintenance costs Eco Friendlíness No impact on underwater world No piling, no concrete blocks needed!
Fields of Application Stern-to-quayside Parallel-to-quayside CAT
Stern-to DualDocker Application Stern line Both arms are rotating.
DualDocker Advantages Convenience No bow lines Hassle-free docking manoeuvre Defined distance stern-to-quayside Minimises rocking and rolling at the berth Safety and Security No collisions with neighbour yachts and quayside No risk for props getting caught in ropes Stability regardless of wind or tidal movement No unauthorised untying Profit Maximisation Up to 30 % capacity increase More premium berths Low maintenance Better use of personnel resources because no docking assistence required No collisions -> no dock repair costs Eco Friendliness Zero impact on underwater world No piles, no concrete blocks, no chains
Customer Feedback Oulton Broad / Suffolk / UK, 42 Sealine I Luke Smith, Dezember 2011: I am seriously impressed with the DualDocker. We have had very strong gales with gusts up to 105 km / h and my yacht lay stable and secure at her unprotected berth. She used to swing around a lot in the past, but that s history. Great! Fiorenzo Lupieri, then Manager Marina Portoroz/Slovenia, January 2012: We have been testing the DualDocker in our marina for almost 6 months now. The System has convinced us, especially during storms. Our own yacht, a Princess 44, lies stable and secure at her berth. A stress test using both 550 hp engines in December was very impressive.

Yachts Kinetic Energy DualDocker reduces forces on the cleats! Why? The yacht lies stable at her berth Kinetic engergy is eliminated from the start Therefore no braking forces Additional Information (formulae, results): Yacht weight: 10 t Yacht weight: 50 t Kinetic energy: Ekin = m v² / 2 Braking force : F = 2(Ekin/distance) Ekin kinetic energy [Joule] m mass [N]; 1 kg = 9,81 N V velocity [m/s] F brake force [N]; 1 kg=9,81 N distance braking distance [m] v [m/s] 0,1 m/s 0,3 m/s 0,5 m/s Braking distance [m] Braking force [kg] 0,5 m 200 kg 0,3 m 333 kg 0,1 m 1 000 kg 0,5 m 1 800 kg 0,3 m 3 000 kg 0,1 m 9 000 kg 0,5 m 5 000 kg 0,3 m 8 333 kg 0,1 m 25 000 kg v [m/s] 0,1 m/s 0,3 m/s 0,5 m/s Braking distance [m] Braking force [kg] 0,5 m 1 000 kg 0,3 m 1 667 kg 0,1 m 5 000 kg 0,5 m 9 000 kg 0,3 m 15 000 kg 0,1 m 45 000 kg 0,5 m 25 000 kg 0,3 m 41700 kg 0,1 m 125 000 kg
Yachts Forces on the Cleats (50 knots of wind) DualDocker reduces forces on the cleats by up to 50% during a storm F total 1 150 kg Conventional Method: 2 stern lines and 1 or 2 bow lines Yacht jerks between ropes High forces on cleats due to bad angles of ropes.
