Project Plan for Whitbread World Sailboat Race

Every so often in life we encounter an opportunity to take a shortcut, to circumvent the traditional path, and attempt to reach our goals without the customary planning, patience, and hard work that invariably goes into any worthwhile endeavor. One such opportunity presented itself in the late summer of 2007, when I was hired to deliver the 38-foot Island Packet cutter Guinevere from Tortola, in the British Virgin Islands, to Bradenton, Florida. By then I had over thirty years’ experience as a licensed captain, ocean yacht master, and certified sailing instructor, and so when I was persuaded to take a shortcut through Passage Key Inlet and ran aground, I immediately realized I should, all along, have trusted my training and instincts.

Thoughts of drowning run rampant in every man’s mind on that boat. At dawn, the men decided that their only chance is to row toward the distant shore again and swim when the boat finally capsizes.

For a boat with a displacement of d pounds and a sail area of A square feet S is determined by the function S = 16Ad-2/3. a) Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of 23,245 pounds. b) Write d in terms of A and S .

Alistair MacLeod’s “The Boat” is a literary success on many levels. His ability to evoke mood, sustain a meaningful theme and a strong setting make this piece particularly impressive.

A project has been estimated to take six weeks and cost $130,000. Cost and percent complete data are provided in the table below through 3 weeks of the project. % scheduled data can be obtained from the Gantt chart following the table.

Monroe planned to produce 30 canoes in the first year and average one canoe every ten days, which would leave 65 days to buffer any unforeseen production delays[1]. Monroe would have to work seven days a week to maintain the production pace; however, he felt that he could handle a seven-day schedule for two to three years. Although the first canoes were scheduled to take almost 12 days to build, manufacturing time would gradually decrease. Monroe knew that he would have to invest in some equipment which would include an estimated $5,530 for power equipment and accessories; hand tools at $835; cutters, blades and bits at $800; benches, stands and cabinets for $1,600; forms and jigs for $160; and office equipment for $3,055. Monroe projected that variable costs would total $1,161 per canoe[2] and annual operating expenses would total $8,644[3].

Your company is installing a new piece of machining equipment and a robotic arm. Your manager asks for the project costs by cost category as well as the total amount. Given the following information, develop a base cost estimate by grouping costs by Equipment / Material (items 1 – 4), Installation / Labor (items 5 and 6), and Overhead (items 7-9).

The implementation of the integrated aquasnap, will increase at a slightly greater rate each year, and will allow Carrier to earn about $8.6 million dollars more in 2002 alone, and $22.5 million more from 1997 to 2002. Also mass production will lower the overall cost of manufacturing due to various factors (i.e. cost of materials, number of parts, number of operations, assembly time, assembly cost, selling price, and overall price will all be reduced). The share projections are a steady 14% until 1998. If the delay bleeds into 1999 the overall loss on that entire year would be $6.8 million, but the overall market share would still increase $15.7 million through 2002.

Peter’s Peripherals assembles multimedia upgrade kits --- sets of components for adding sound and video to desktop computers. The demand for their kits for the next four quarters is estimated in the table below. Unit manufacturing cost for each kit is $160. Holding costs on each kit is $80 per quarter. Any kit that must be delivered late is assessed a backorder cost of $120. Each worker is capable of finishing 10 kits per quarter. If the company chooses to vary work force levels, it will incur costs of $400 for each additional worker; $600 for each termination. The company currently has 28 employees.

Steve Jensen has been a working artist for over 30 years. He comes from a long tradition of Norwegian fisherman and boat builders, growing up on his father’s fishing boat. The image of the boat symbolizes a voyage or journey; perhaps it’s the voyage to the other side or the journey into the unknown. An award-winning artist, Steve has shown his work in multiple galleries on the west coast, across the country, and around the

One thing that the Vikings were known for was their hand crafted long ships that they designed and made. There were many types of different Viking Long ships including the Snekke, Drekkar, Skeid etc. I have decided to build a model of the Drekkar long ship. Firstly, I purchased my items needed. I then painted a thin canvas with blue waves to act as a base for the ship. To build the ship, I cut out two equal sides of the ship out of thin brown cardboard and glued them together with a top deck and bottom deck in the middle made out of the same cardboard. I painted the boat a dark brown and drew facial details on the dragon head with a permanent marker.. I made the mast out of thin dowels and stuck it in the center of the boat. For the sail I cut out a square piece of white, canvas material and painted red strips on it. I also cut out multicolored, circular shields and glued them to the side of the boat. To make the oars, I cut out small rectangles out of cardboard and stuck them onto wooden sticks. I then labelled my ship, added the finishing touches and placed it on the canvas base.

This paper will investigate how the lesson: “Build a Boat Challenge”, would be taught from the view of Bruner and Vygotsky using their instructional “interactional” theories of learning. This paper will also show how the same lesson would be approached using Gagne’s model of instruction.

Akademi Teknikal Laut Malaysia (ATLAM) was established on 15 August 1981 as to train and prepare Malaysians for the maritime industry which was located in Melaka and Terengganu. ATLAM was wholly owned organization of MICT Berhad. Based on the study conducted in 1997 by the World Maritime University, they
