Lifteime Achievement Award winners Bruce
Atkinson (L) and Roland DesChamp (R) are icons
of the Nova Scotia Boatbuilding industry with well
over 100 years of experience between them. They
are flanked on the left by NSBA Executive Director
Tim Edwards and on the right by NSBA Chairman
Glen Aylward
of glas ocean engineering, Paul Jamer
of Breakwater group and dave gerr.
the moderator was Aaron Porter who
did a good job of keeping both the panelists and the audience on topic.
Both sue molloy and Paul Jamer,
who are both working at the leading
edge of the development of marine
renewable energy and sustainable engineering technology, pointed out how
quickly the parameters which define
efficiency and practicality are changing.
the next big oil price shock, and there
will be one, will quickly change the cost
benefit analysis for hybrid propulsion
systems.
while a long range motor yacht may
not benefit from a hybrid system since
it is able to run its engines at their optimum rpm for long periods of time, the
many large sport fishing battlewagons
are a different matter. these boats
generally use huge engines to get out
to the canyons at high speed and then
spend hours at idle speed for trolling.
here a switch to battery powered electric motors may well make sense. sue
molloy noted the potential use in the
lobster fishery where, like the sport
fishing boats, a large engine is needed
to get out to the fishing grounds but
then traps are retrieved at idle. most on
the panel and audience agreed that
where fishers were concerned, the bottom line rather than good intentions
would be the deciding factor.
Paul Jamer mentioned what he
called the "Prius factor". when someone has invested the extra cost for
hybrid power and the information on
efficiency is constantly in front of you,
this tends to effect driving habits. on
yachts this could also be a factor in
modifying operator behaviour.
Considering the panel discussion
was the last event of the conference,
the packed room at the end spoke volumes for the level of interest from the
delegates.
Feedback from attendees, including
some who frequent much larger and
better known conferences, was
extremely positive. As Aaron Porter
said after the event "I do appreciate the
kicked-back informality ... coupled with
a depth of professional knowledge and
practical experience among members
and attendees." - By Glen Cairns
