Chronique de Stratégie et Tactique navale : fonction garde-côtes, marine côtière et forces de haute-mer. Vendredi 15 avril 2011 5 15 /04 /Avr /2011 06:00 Dans le cadre de notre étude de la stratégie maritime française pour contrôler les zones économiques exclusives, nous avons trouvé un article très intéressant de Caroline Britz (Les Echos). La fonction garde-côtes Son article a le mérite de présenter synthétiquement ce que représente la fonction garde-côtes : " La France possède depuis le décret du 22 juillet dernier une fonction garde-côtes. Une fonction et non un corps de gardes-côtes à proprement parler, comme les tout-puissants « coast guards » américains ou britanniques. En exagérant, rien de nouveau à l’Ouest comme disait Erik Maria Remarque. Cependant, l’auteur (ou l’auteure) nous prépare à une grande évolution de l’Action de l’Etat en Mer, ce qui justifierait cette fonction garde-côtes.

" La principale innovation se situe dans la création d’un Comité directeur de la fonction garde-côtes, placé sous l’autorité du secrétaire général de la Mer. Création d’une Marine côtière.

Compass Classic Yachts - Building Fiberglass Replica Sailboat Models P. Sport Boat 18 - Study Plans. An 18'performance trailerable sport boat. Weight or displacement? Note that we show a hull weight and displacement. The hull weight is just that , the weight of the hull only. Our displacement is the weight of the complete boat with rigging, sails, outboard motor, gas tank half full, gear and crew.

Our second generation stitch and glue is the ideal material for a light and fast sport boat. The 5 panel hull shape is easy to build.It has less wet area than a sharpie hull but still has the flat bottom ideal for good downwind performance and planing. The powerful fractional rig is based on a keel stepped Al tapered spar, 7/8 rig with swept back single spreaders, no running or mast head backstays.. The preferred keel is the vertical drop keel with a 400 lb bulb on the end of the high aspect foil. Spade rudder , fin bulb keel are described in detail with full size pattern for the bulb and keel fin Layout: The cockpit is 110" (280 cm) long, giving plenty of space for working the boat.

The Essential Site For Captains And Crew - Superports. Welcome to Superports! With data on more than 500 Superyacht marinas, the Dockwalk team are pleased to launch our online Superports directory. Previously only available in print, the Superports directory contains information including contact details, facilities at the berth and local services. It also provides vital logistical information such as lat/long co-ordinates, berth numbers and sizes, prices and distances to local airports. What's more, the whole thing works with Google mapping. Select a region or enter a location, rollover an anchor and see the name, location and photo of the marina. Click on it to load all the info on your chosen marina. When you've chosen a marina, you'll notice a list of local services classifications in the right hand column.

IOC IHO IBCM-International Bathymetric Chart of the Mediterranean. Click on map above for a larger preview This bathymetric chart is published by the Charts Division of the Head Department of Navigation and Oceanography in Russia under the authority of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO.

Originally compiled from ninety 1:250,000 scale British Admiralty Mercator plotting sheets for oceanic soundings, it presents the bathymetry and land topography as 200 m contours with supplemental 20 m, 50 m, and 100 m contours at sea. Several versions are available; a 10 sheet set (each 74 X 90 cm) at 1:1,000,000 scale at 38 degrees N, and a photo-reduction to 1:5,000,000 scale. This chart, with an inset of the entire Black Sea at half scale, is also the basemap for a Geological/Geophysical series with Bouguer gravity anomalies (IBCM-G), seismicity (IBCM-S), thickness of Plio-Quaternary sediments (IBCM-PQ), unconsolidated bottom surface sediments (IBCM-SED), and magnetic anomalies (IBCM-M).

Google Ocean : marine data for Google Maps / Google Earth. Google Maps (GM) on the web and Google Earth (GE) as a 3D interactive atlas software application are ideal tools for sharing geographical information in a simple way. GE as a mass-market visualization product is definitely a new step in the evolution of mapping and GIS, especially in the way it can be used with a couple of mouse clicks by anybody not expert in cartography. So this webpage is the MIS contribution to this unique method of information gathering to share detailed information in the marine domain waiting Google 3D Maps for Oceans (may be with Google Oceans as a product name, but name can change on its launch -probably on the 2nd of February, 2009-), the future release of the Google project under research to create visualization tools for marine data throughout the world and will enable users to navigate below the sea surface.

Pocket ShipPlotter is a compact version of ShipPlotter that runs on a Pocket PC (iPaq). It is intended for use in situations where it is not convenient to use a laptop or decktop computer. Like ShipPlotter, it displays AIS messages on a chart. Pocket ShipPlotter charts are compatible with ShipPlotter charts and calibration files. Pocket ShipPlotter does not include as many options as the desktop version but it can save decoded messages in a log file and complete data in an NMEA serial file.

Unlike ShipPlotter, Pocket ShipPlotter does not accept receiver audio signals - it is only suitable with a serial AIS data source. Only ship position messages and ship static data messages are decoded by Pocket ShipPlotter but the option to save the complete NMEA serial data to a file allows you to replay the full data at a later date using ShipPlotter running on a laptop or desktop. Another marine monitoring application is EpirbPlotter.

Route Preparation. FAQ. What is OpenSeaMap?

OpenSeaMap is an open source, worldwide project to create a free nautical chart. There is a great need for freely accessible maps for navigation purposes, so in 2009, OpenSeaMap came into life. The goal of OpenSeaMap is to record interesting and useful nautical information for the sailor which is then incorporated into a free map of the world. This includes beacons, buoys and other navigation aids as well as port information, repair shops and chandlerys. OpenSeaMap is a subproject of OpenStreetMap and uses its database. How can I help? See "Participate" How do I register seamarks? When will the chart cover the whole of the Earth's surface?

How to use the offline charts? Where can I find more information? On the sides of the Wiki pages, there are further links, including links to Wikipedia, which offers thousands of articles on navigation and cartography, specific to different countries.
