Abstract submission extended - From Dr. LePelley;

"Dear colleagues,

We have already had over 30 abstracts submitted on a wide range of topics.

We recognise that this is a busy time for many so would like to extend the abstract submission deadline until Friday 18th July. After this date the technical committee will review all of the abstracts and communicate with authors.

If there are other people you work with who have done something interesting please try to persuade them to submit an abstract!

We look forward to seeing you all in March 2015.

Please send abstracts to info@hpyd.org.nz. Final papers are due on 1st October.

Kind regards,

David Le Pelley

======================
As a bit of background, I understand that the plan is to have HPYD, Chesapeake Sailing Yacht Symposium and one other sailing yacht technology conference (I forget which one) on a three year cycle in the future, so there will be an international sailing technology event every year, either in Auckland, Annapolis or Europe.

I have co-written papers at the first two HPYDs and the other papers were certainly very good - I wish I could have been the author who went.

More updates on upcoming HPYD conference in Auckland:

=============================

As part of the 5th High Performance Yacht Design conference hosted by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), in conjunction with the University of Auckland, there will be a free public lecture <http://www.engineering.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/events/events-2015/hpyd-conference-public-lecture.html> during the Volvo Ocean Race stopover.

Knut Frostad is the Chief Executive of the Volvo Ocean Race. This is the third time that he has managed the VOR and he was instrumental in changing the event from an open class rule into the strict one-design, sailor driven contest that it has now become. He will be speaking about the evolution of the Volvo Ocean Race event and the merits of the one-design.

Peter Montgomery – the voice of NZ yachting will be the master of ceremonies at the event, which will be held in a specially built hospitality marquee on the end of Hobson Wharf.

When:

Monday 9th March 6.30pm – 8.30pm

Where:

The Members Lounge Hospitality Venue, Hobson Wharf (temporary structure, behind Viaduct Events Centre)

Register:

Numbers are strictly limited. For more information and to register for the event please visit this page <http://www.engineering.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/events/events-2015/hpyd-conference-public-lecture.html> .
