Glory: Steve Kozloff’s 170m triple masted yacht concept unveiled

US yacht designer Steve Kozloff has lifted the lid on Glory, a new superyacht concept that comes complete with an aircraft hangar, submersible storage and a set of three tilting masts.

Fitted with Solid Sail System, the masts are groundbreaking in their ability to set their own sails, rotate a full 380 degrees and tilt forward 70 degrees to reduce drag and allow the yacht to pass under high bridges.

While Glory is a superyacht first and foremost, she has been designed with scientific research in mind. To this end, she will be able to cruise in polar regions thanks to an ice-classed hull and heated masts, handrails and doors that prevent icing.

A pair of cranes will help load and off-load research equipment and a large tender garage offers storage for tour tenders and two Nemo U-Boat Worx submarines with a dedicated launch system to allow easy access to the depths of the sea.

The aircraft hangar covers an area of 620 square metres and boasts a unique elevating and gyro stabilised landing pad. This can accommodate up to two helicopters or three eVTOLs.

The yacht has a wide range of top-class amenities spread across her five decks, including a 450 square metre owner’s suite and two master suites. In total, Glory can accommodate 26 guests and a crew of 40.

Interiors feature curved walls, plenty of windows and a wide variety of entertaining spaces including a marble-clad piano bar.

The stern boasts an intimate viewing platform, while the upper deck features a six by 12 metre swimming pool.

The Solid Sail system also features integrated load sensing technology that informs the captain how much to drive sailing rigs.

She can cruise at 14 knots for 6700 nautical miles with diesel power only. Under sail power only, she can make 12 knots.

This comes after Kozloff unveiled a 160 metre superyacht concept named Galleon in June 2021 .

Steve Kozloff Lifts Lid on 170m Triple Masted Yacht Concept

By Heather Collier

Renowned US yacht designer Steve Kozloff has unveiled Glory, an innovative, new superyacht concept that comes complete with an aircraft hangar, submersible storage and a set of three tilting masts.

After unveiling his 160 metre superyacht concept Galleon in June 2021, it appears Kozloff has decided to push the boundaries even further.

Newly released renders show the vessel is fitted with Solid Sail System which features integrated load sensing technology that informs the captain how much to drive sailing rigs.

The three masts are groundbreaking in their ability to set their own sails, rotate a full 380 degrees and tilt forward 70 degrees to reduce drag and allow the yacht to pass under high bridges, something that is continually a challenge for modern day luxury vessels.

This model comes after the ice-class explorer Elegante and Arctic Owl as part in his Goliath Series. 

While Glory is a superyacht first and foremost, she is ultimately an explorer, and has been designed with scientific research and adventure in mind. Fit with an ice-classed hull and heated masts, handrails and doors that prevent icing, she will be able to cruise in polar regions for scientific exploration. 

Her pair of cranes will help load and off-load all research equipment, and a large tender garage offers storage for tour tenders and two Nemo U-Boat Worx submarines with a dedicated launch system to allow easy access to deeper levels of the sea.

In conjunction with this, her aircraft hangar covers 620 sqm and boasts a unique elevating and gyro stabilised landing pad which can accommodate up to two helicopters or three eVTOLs.

Glory also features a series of top-class amenities spread across her five decks, including a 450 sqm owner’s suite and two master suites. She can accommodate up to 26 guests and 40 crew members, with spacious VIP areas to indulge in.

Her interiors feature futuristic curved walls, an abundance of stylish windows and a wide variety of entertaining spaces including a marble-clad piano bar.

Guests can enjoy panoramic views of the water from her intimate viewing platform at the stern, while the Upper Deck features a 6 by 12 metre swimming pool. 

Equipped with a 6,000 hp hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, she can cruise at 14 knots for 6700 nautical miles with diesel power only, with a top speed of 17 knots. Under sail power only, she can reach 12 knots.

Framed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Glory appears to be the perfect explorer vessel; intended for the most wild, untouched corners of the ocean.

Concept: 170m sailing superyacht Glory

Hey! Quite a long time ago, we noticed an interesting trend - among the great variety of superyachts, there will always be a couple of giant sailboats. Huge and majestic ships, which are unlikely to become anything more than a monument to human genius, do not cease to arouse admiration. Among them is the sailing superyacht Glory by renowned designer Steve Kozloff.

New concept

Californian designer Steve Kozloff recently unveiled the concept of a sailing superyacht called Glory. One of the features is an innovative mast control system. The new 558ft (170m) yacht is the latest addition to Kozloff's Goliath Series of foldable yachts.

Among other things, an interesting Elegante model was noted in this line. Recall that Elegante was introduced back in December last year.

Masts, sails...

To set such a colossus in motion, powerful masts and reliable sails are needed. Another feature of the yacht should be the new Solid Sail system. The system was developed by the French company Chantiers de L'Atlantique. It has many advantages over the traditional system, says Kozloff. 

Thanks to the Solid Sail system, the masts can tilt forward by 70 degrees, which allows the height of the yacht to be reduced from 237 feet (72 m) to 134 feet (41 m). This will allow Glory to pass under most bridges. Each mast can also rotate 360 degrees to make the most of the power of the wind.

The system also offers software-based sail monitoring - a huge number of sensors are built into both the masts and the sails. This will allow the skipper to determine exactly how best to distribute the load on the sails and which course is best to enter. 

Hull and ride characteristics Glory

The Glory board is also stable and reliable. The hull will meet the standards of expeditionary vessels, and the superstructure will be made of aluminum. Glory will be used for truly long journeys.

The superyacht is also equipped with a 6,000 hp hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system. She will provide a top speed of 17 knots and a range of 6,709 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 14 knots. 

With 30,000 square feet (2,800 square meters) of sail, the Glory will reportedly be able to reach speeds of 12 knots. Of course, engines and sails can work simultaneously to increase range and speed. 

Internal organization

The five-deck yacht can accommodate up to 26 guests and 40 crew members. The most impressive of the cabins is, of course, the master cabin. Its area is about 1,500 square feet (139 square meters). Another highlight is the chic piano bar on the upper deck, finished with exquisite Italian TB Marmi marble.

Glory is also equipped with a huge aircraft hangar and a gyro-stabilized landing pad that can accommodate up to two helicopters or three eVTOLs. In addition, the yacht's full-beam garage can store four tenders, two Nemo U-Boat Worx and other "toys", while two large cranes will help load and unload food and equipment. To top it off, the yacht has a large pool on the upper deck and a beach club with retractable decks aft.

Rosatom starts production of rare-earth magnets for wind power generation

November 11, 2020 5:17 pm

T VEL Fuel Company of Rosatom has started gradual localization of rare-earth magnets manufacturing for wind power plants generators. The first sets of magnets have been manufactured and shipped to the customer.

In total, the contract between Elemash Magnit LLC (an enterprise of TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom in Elektrostal, Moscow region) and Red Wind B.V. (a joint venture of NovaWind JSC and the Dutch company Lagerwey) foresees manufacturing and supply over 200 sets of magnets. One set is designed to produce one power generator.

“The project includes gradual localization of magnets manufacturing in Russia, decreasing dependence on imports. We consider production of magnets as a promising sector for TVEL’s metallurgical business development. In this regard, our company does have the relevant research and technological expertise for creation of Russia’s first large-scale full cycle production of permanent rare-earth magnets,” commented Natalia Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.

“NovaWind, as the nuclear industry integrator for wind power projects, not only made-up an efficient supply chain, but also contributed to the development of inter-divisional cooperation and new expertise of Rosatom enterprises. TVEL has mastered a unique technology for the production of magnets for wind turbine generators. These technologies will be undoubtedly in demand in other areas as well,” noted Alexander Korchagin, Director General of NovaWind JSC.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants.
