Surcouf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 motor? where are the sails? Yes, with the engines. 20/25 knots south-eastern sector, so the front. Imposible and very dangerous to go up the Charente sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturin Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Track the ship here: http://www.vesselfinder.com/?mmsi=228052600 As you can see, she is making her way out of the Bay of Biscay at the moment. 40 minutes ago she was on a broad reach in 18 knots of wind, making 7.5 knots. Subsiding seas of less than 1 meter in height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturin Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Surcouf, do you know how fast Hermione can move under power (using her engine)? I am watching her progress on the map. If only I could find information on wind conditions at her current position, we could analyze her performance under sail as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I do not know about engine performance. With the site you will find MarineTraffic its position and speed of movement, seeing the day of departure can be given an average speed under sail moving. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-9.658327/centery:42.33986/zoom:8/mmsi:228052600/shipid:180670 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 She appears to making little headway over the last 18 hours. http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/oldshipid:180670/oldmmsi:228052600/olddate:lastknown# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It navigate to the motor during two days. She had the wind in the face. And right now there is little wind in its area... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theuerdank Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) In german news TV (Heute Journal) there was a short report about the Hermione and its momentary journey. Also the comment the 'original' needed 11 months for building and the recreation about 17 years. (Seems the main difference) . But its clear the Hermione project is nothing unnoticed, also by public. Anyway its a very beautifull ship, not only because its recreated. Edited April 25, 2015 by Theuerdank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It navigate to the motor during two days. She had the wind in the face. And right now there is little wind in its area... Earlier she was making 8 knots and the map said that she was using her engine. So I can't imagine why she would have slowed down so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Perhaps the swell or a repair to do, this is difficult to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Almost ground to a halt,making less than 1 Knot.I wonder if they have problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturin Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have tried and failed to find a website that provides current weather conditions for random patches of ocean. I really wanted to match the vessel's speed with the wind conditions and sea state. Anyways, if they have really heavy swells right on the nose, I imagine that they don't want to power into them at speed, to avoid straining the masts. I can't find much information on Concorde-class frigates, but she may well have a tendency to savage pitching, as many French frigates did. It's often a characteristic of vessels built for speed, due to lack of buoyancy on the finely-built bows. Edit: Found the ship's blog in French. Looks like they actually talk about the voyage here, and not just pageants and fundraisers like most of the website does. http://www.hermione.com/blog-de-l-hermione/ I think the ship is spending a lot of time looking for the wind, setting her sails only to be confronted by light headwinds. Her captain says that the forecasts are unreliable because they use models that have been disrupted by climate change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Cloudsley-Shovell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 From this i found it seems that there are slight seas and the wind is off her starboard beam. http://www.oceanweather.com/data/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, if this video was shot on the same day, then it appears that she was making almost 9 knots in rather mild conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5If0W1iKVE#t=56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturin Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 On s'étonne qu'un phare carré soit capable de remonter à 54° du vent, lorsque l'exigence royale de l'époque était un navire capable de remonter à 67°. On s'étonne de ressentir quelque chose dans cette immense barre à roue, démultipliée, reliée à un immense gouvernail à quelques 6 mètres sous nos pieds. Et on comprend alors le commandant lorsqu'il explique qu'avant d'être une machine de guerre, L'Hermione est avant tout un bon voilier. Some numbers! 54 degrees is amazing; it must be before leeway, or measured from the apparent wind, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just with respect to North, not from the actual or apparent wind. If this is not the same angle. But 54 ° is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
