Naval Force 3: A local alliance takes an interest in the resumption of the construction site

The Naval Force 3 shipyard, located on the La Rochelle nautical plateau, has been placed in receivership. While awaiting the verdict of the commercial court, buyers are in the ranks, without satisfying the current manager, Philippe Joneau.

Naval Force 3 in receivership

The Naval Force 3 shipyard , which has specialised in recent years in subcontracting composite parts, was placed under a safeguard procedure in November 2020. The company, located on the nautical platform of La Rochelle, supporting 8 employees and a manager, Philippe Joneau, had accumulated a significant debt. To allow the transfer, the collective procedure was finally converted into receivership on 26 January 2021, postponing the study of two offers from neighbouring companies Neel Trimarans and Chantiers de l'Arsenal, builder of the Day One catamarans.

A joint Neel Trimarans / Chantiers de l'Arsenal offer

The situation has finally changed as a result of the new procedure. The two candidates confirmed that they had submitted a single joint bid, the only one we know of. They do not wish to give further details of their joint project until the Commercial Court of La Rochelle has made public its choices, which are expected on 16 March 2021. For his part, the manager of Naval Force 3, Philippe Joneau, is worried about a new offer that he announces to be much lower than the previous ones.

A complex space issue for the nautical industry in La Rochelle

The steps taken to take over the Force 3 shipyard are taking place in a delicate local context for the yachting sector, in terms of land. The spaces on the nautical platform, near the lifting equipment and the trawler basin are limited and sometimes questioned for their nuisance for the neighbourhood. Neel Trimarans had already bought out its subcontractor TechniYachts Pinta in June 2018 to expand its production capacity. Chantiers de l'Arsenal, whose composite part of its Day One catamarans was previously built at TechniYachts Pinta and Naval Force 3, opened a temporary structure in September 2020 in the industrial port of La Pallice, also in La Rochelle, to internalize its composite production. Beyond that, Yannick Bestaven's victory in the Vendée Globe has revived the political will to create an ocean racing centre in the port of Charente, which again requires space. Without prejudging the outcome of the procedure, certain tensions surrounding the operation show the importance of what is at stake, in addition to the future of the employees.

Piana 30 is a 29 ′ 5 ″ / 9 m catamaran sailboat designed by Bertrand. Desray and built by Naval Force 3 starting in 1991.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Spinnaker area: 753sf/70.0sm Updated version is PIANA 30.2.

• Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Honored for Saving 3 Imperiled Sailors in Alaska

The video doesn't do justice to the heroic rescue of three mariners Jan. 9 off Khaz Point, Alaska, in 15-foot seas, 35-degree water temperatures and a capsized boat heading dangerously toward shore.

Into the maelstrom jumped Aviation Survival Technician 2nd Class Aaron Mulkey, a veteran Coast Guard rescue swimmer facing a series of critical decisions to ensure that everyone would make it out alive.

For his actions that evening, Mulkey has been named the Armed Services YMCA Angels of the Battlefield Award recipient for 2024 for the Coast Guard and will be nominated for the Department of Homeland Security's Lifesaving Award.

According to his nomination for the Angels of the Battlefield Award by Cmdr. Rand Semke, commander of Air Station Sitka, so much could have gone wrong with the rescue.

On that night, the Coast Guard received an SOS alert from an iPhone on a capsized catamaran with three people aboard, including one who was critically injured. The distress signal was faint but urgent, and air response was dispatched within 17 minutes.

When the boat was finally spotted, it was drifting toward an inhospitable coastline, requiring immediate rescue. Mulkey was put in the water, where he swam toward the vessel, timing the waves and maneuvering through currents to reach the boat. The plan was to retrieve the three using a rescue basket, and Mulkey swam to it with the most injured victim.

But the conditions were too violent for that method of extraction. Mulkey then swam the injured sailor back to the overturned hull and used a sling to hoist them to the helicopter above, holding the sailor's bleeding head gently during the ride up. Once the survivor was put into the helicopter, he performed the maneuver two more times, plucking the remaining two victims from the roiling ocean to safety.

His job wasn't over, however. Once he was in the helicopter, he administered medical aid to the boaters, treating them for hypothermia and the severe head injuries.

According to the award write-up, Mulkey's actions epitomize "the utmost ideals of courage and selfless service," Semke wrote.

"AST2 Mulkey's steadfast commitment to duty and unmatched skill in the face of adversity served as a beacon of hope and assurance to the three survivors that fateful evening," Semke said.

The Angels of the Battlefield honor is given each year to an enlisted medical professional in each of the armed services' medical branches.

The recipients for the Army , Navy and Air Force , as well as the Defense Health Agency, will be announced in the coming weeks, according to an Armed Forces YMCA spokeswoman.

But the Coast Guard proudly issued a servicewide message about Mulkey's award nearly as soon as the service found out on July 2.

"AST2 Mulkey's actions were extraordinarily heroic, brought great credit upon the Coast Guard, and highly merit this year's recognition as the Coast Guard's 2024 Armed Services YMCA Angel of the Battlefield. Bravo zulu for a job very well done," wrote U.S. Public Health Service Rear Adm. Shane Steiner, executive director of health services for the Coast Guard.

An event to bestow the honors is scheduled for October.

Ex-Secret Service special agents explain why countersniper who saved Trump's life may have lost crucial seconds

• Trump's life was saved by a Secret Service countersniper assigned to Saturday's detail.
• But the shooter still managed to kill one rallygoer and injure two others before he was taken out.
• Experts said heat, staffing, and a focus on a nearby tree line may have cost crucial seconds.

The Secret Service countersniper who narrowly saved the life of former President Donald Trump may have lost crucial seconds because of factors including the extreme heat, a lack of antisniper backup, and a likely focus on a nearby tree line, a former special agent told Business Insider.

"This countersniper made an amazingly quick decision and clearly saved Trump's life," Bill Pickle, the former special agent in charge of Al Gore's vice-presidential Secret Service detail, said.

"Our guys are the best shots in the world. That's what they do," Pickle said.

"And within a second of the moment this kid opened fire, the CS guy shot him," he said, using Secret Service shorthand to refer to the countersniper deployed at Saturday night's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

"But someone will blame that CS and the spotter and say, 'If only he had been two seconds faster in spotting the shooter,'" the former special agent said.

"The real question may be: If there were more antisniper eyes on that building, could this have all been avoided?" he added.

How did the countersniper team not see the shooting suspect sooner?

Pickle said one area of focus for investigators would be how the shooter managed to get on top of the building without authorities taking notice.

"The other question is: Why wasn't this roof secured, and were there agents or law enforcement in there checking IDs?" he added.

"How did this kid figure out a way to get out on the rooftop and slither across that rooftop?" Pickle said. "He low-crawled across the roof on his hands and knees, and he pushed the weapon ahead of him just like in the military."

But even if they see a shooting suspect quicker, countersnipers may not always have the ability to act immediately when they spot a threat, Anthony Cangelosi, a former special agent who directed the Secret Service's technical-security advances for presidential candidates, said.

"You either have to make a decision: 'Do I take a shot? Or do I not take a shot?'" Cangelosi told BI.

"What if you find out, 'Oh, I just killed a 20-year-old kid who loves the protectee, and he couldn't get in the venue, and he just wanted to get up on that roof?' No one wants to be in that position," Cangelosi said.

Cangelosi said the Secret Service team at the event should have a "site plan" that would include a layout of the area and the surrounding buildings.

The would-be assassin fired at least three rounds from a rooftop 150 yards from where Trump was speaking. He killed one rallygoer and critically injured two others before being shot dead by a yet-to-be-identified Secret Service countersniper who was positioned on another rooftop.

One bullet grazed Trump's right ear , bloodying his face.

"This kid, at 150 yards, made a great shot," Pickle said Sunday of the would-be assassin, his voice grim. "I don't know the specifics of whether he used optics, meaning a scope on his rifle," he told BI.

"But even with optics, it takes somebody with training to aim at somebody's head from 150 yards away and you actually hit the edge of the head," he said.

"That's not a lucky shot," he added. "That's a guy who actually shot before."

The FBI identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks , 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The FBI said it was still investigating a motive.

But for now, it's clear that at least three things may have factored into the several-second delay between when Crooks was seen crawling onto the roof and when the CS team saw and shot him, Pickle said.

The decision on how many antisnipers to deploy may prove the most critical factor, he said.

"Someone made a decision that that number of countersnipers was sufficient," he said. "And obviously, in hindsight, they were wrong because there was a kid who was able to get up there on that rooftop and pull the trigger three times at least."

How many CS teams were deployed?

Staffing decisions would have been made at the Secret Service's headquarters in Washington, DC, based on whatever agency personnel on the ground recommended after a several-day investigation of the site, Pickle said.

"An advance team actually does a lengthy survey, where they look at everything and then recommend what they need," he said.

"But if they're stretched for resources, headquarters can say we can only get you one team out there. And that's not unusual — if you don't have it, you don't have it," Pickle said.

"It always boils down to resources," he said. "And if it's not a resource problem, and the money was there, then it's still an allocation-of-resources problem," he said — meaning someone underestimated the forces needed to keep Trump safe.

Regardless of how many snipers were present, the Secret Service typically has "360-degree coverage" of an event where a sitting or former president is speaking, Cangelosi said.

Another factor is the weather.

"The CS guys would probably say: 'We were up there for four hours in 100-degree heat, and if we had another team up here or drone support, this wouldn't have happened,'" Pickle said.

The team may also have been focusing on a nearby tree line, seeing it as the primary risk.

"You're looking at everything that would hide a potential assassin," Pickle said.

"The first assumption is that if I'm a bad guy, I'm going to hide. Human nature is such that I'm going to be scanning the rooftops to make sure they're empty, but then I'm going to be focusing on that tree line because you think the bad guy is going to be hidden," Pickle said.

"You don't think the bad guy is going to be out in the open," he said.

Interagency squabbles and intense public scrutiny are forthcoming

Once the would-be assassin opened fire, "everything that happened up there was textbook and the way it should have happened," Pickle said. The CS team returned fire, long-gun-toting counterassault agents in black jumpsuits and helmets rushed the stage, and business-suited agents at the rally platform hurried Trump offstage.

"But why wasn't he identified seconds sooner?" Pickle asked of the shooter.

"Was it caused by exhaustion from being on a 100-degree roof for four hours? Was the CS team watching the heavy foliage there, which arguably was the best place to hide?" he said.

"An open roof is not the best place to hide. If he climbed out onto an open rooftop, he was prepared to die," he added.

"The worst nightmare for the Secret Service has always been a lone gunman who hasn't been announcing his views publicly and is ready to die," he said.

Pickle said Saturday's attack would be dissected for years to come and "will be in the training syllabus forever."

"It's going to be a circular firing squad," Pickle said of the interagency finger-pointing and conspiracy theories that will play out as the attempted assassination is scrutinized by the FBI, Congress, and the press and public.

Cangelosi told BI that "a lot of people talk and things just travel" within the agency after an event of this magnitude.

"We all want answers, and we want them as quickly as possible, but it's going to take some time," Cangelosi said. "You know the Secret Service; they're professionals. Mistakes are made. They're going to remedy them."
