Caption: Farr Yacht Design (www.farrdesign.com) has provided the design and engineering for many winning Volvo Ocean Race contenders over the past 25 years. The Disney-backed "Pirates of the Caribbean" shown placed second in the 2005-2006 edition of the race. The grueling 9-month, round the world event covers some of the most extreme and inhospitable sailing conditions on earth, including winds up to 60 knots and ocean swells up to 30 feet high, with the boats capable of speeds in excess of 40 knots. Right: NEi Nastran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software from Noran Engineering (www.NEiNastran.com) is used to simulate the performance of the entire yacht made from carbon fiber composites. Images shown are displacement contour plots for an extreme condition of impact with a submerged object.
