<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge Propellers</a> has been designing and manufacturing propellers and stern gear since 1974. With subsidiaries in India, Dubai and Malaysia, we visited its UK headquarters to discover more about the science behind propeller design and how they are made.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312851/image/large-56271323d374c8552778e12bc7e733b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312851">It is entirely fitting that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge Propellers</a> near the seaside town of Torquay is housed in a historic building built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the great civil and mechanical engineer. Among his many achievements, Brunel designed the SS Great Britain, the first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1845. Nowadays marine propellers come in multiple shapes and sizes, but they all convert rotational motion into thrust by producing a pressure difference in the surrounding water. Until quite recently, their design was driven by trial-and-error and was viewed as something of a dark art, but modern computing power allows engineers to predict propeller performance before they even get wet. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge Propellers</a> has been at the forefront of these developments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312845/image/large-e4ad63a85270801c05dd95b7596b4ec9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312845">The largest producer of custom propellers and stern gear in Europe, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> is one of very few companies that can execute the whole design and manufacturing process in-house. Able to react quickly to relatively simple requests for commercial ships and workboats, it increasingly operates at a higher level to meet the more specific needs of military vessels and large yachts. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bold85.3m (279'10&quot;)Silver Yachts2019">Bold</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5636" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="White Rabbit84.04m (275'9&quot;)Echo Yachts2018">White Rabbit</a> and the restored classic Haida are just a few superyachts equipped with its propellers, while repeat clients include <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/752" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mengi Yay Yachts (Company)">Mengi Yay</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin Yachts</a> and leading production boat builders.“Some clients are specifically interested in fuel economy for longer range, or low noise and vibration,” says Mark Phare, Group Managing Director. “At the moment, for example, we’re designing propellers for electrically driven foiling tenders, but also for autonomous minesweeping vessels that need to have both a low magnetic signature and a low noise signature. So we've been doing all sorts of research into how to minimise propeller noise, which includes special coatings as well as the actual propeller geometry, which is know-how we can transfer to superyachts.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199662/image/large-ceddff7d19ed40a66dc705f81311e2e4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199662">Efficiency vs noisePropeller performance revolves around mechanical strength, hydrodynamic efficiency, noise and vibration, and cavitation [the formation of vapour cavities in water induced by low pressure. These four criteria often pull in opposing directions, so the challenge is to find the best balance according to the specific requirements of each customer.&nbsp;“We’ve probably reached the top of the efficiency curve in propeller design as we know it and most of what we do today is navigating the design space to find the optimum compromise based on use,” says Dr Saeed Javdani, head of the Innovation &amp; Technology Department. “If you want low noise and vibration, for example, you may have to sacrifice some efficiency, because to have a quieter propeller you need a bigger blade area ratio, which increases frictional drag across its surface and reduces efficiency, and so on.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312846/image/large-048fba7026f73b71dfa53d5accf1ac8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312846">Noise is a key consideration for superyachts, which is why they usually have propellers with highly skewed blades to avoid propeller-tip vortex, the dynamic behaviour that can create wave-like disturbances, resulting in unwanted cavitation and high-pitched ‘singing’. Highly skewed blades mean the vortices shoot off into the water rather than hitting the hub (the issue can also be remedied by introducing a chamfer to the trailing edge of blades).Shafts, bearings, seals, brackets and rudders also affect the noise signature of vessels. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> designs and produces all these components and was an early manufacturer of velocity aligned rudders and brackets. The first such rudder was patented three decades ago by the U.S. Navy to delay cavitation erosion damage on its vessels. A revolving propeller causes the angle of water flow to vary along the span and chord of a straight rudder, which can result in cavitation that reduces performance, increases erosion and produces undesirable noise. A velocity aligned rudder is ‘twisted’ in the direction of the attacking propeller stream that follows the rudder surface, reducing pressure peaks and cavitation, while deflecting the water flow to increase efficiency (in sea trials of its velocity aligned rudder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> recorded an average increase in speed of one knot at maximum engine speed).<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312842/image/large-77d933249818253ffb17207e04aef140.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312842">Propeller geometry is based on parametric definitions of pitch, skew, rake, blade section, and much more. Driving performance in a particular direction whilst operating in the complex wake of a ship or boat is a complex process. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> utilises powerful simulation tools, including state-of-the-art Star CCM+ CFD and Siemens HEEDS software, to understand the interaction between propellers and other appendages and the fluid flowing around their surfaces. This suite of advanced design tools allows for automated, AI-driven optimisation by coupling performance feedback to changes in the geometry parameters. The cycles are then repeated to hunt for improvements and up to 500 designs for a particular application can be produced over a 48-hour period. These numerical simulations are proving particularly useful with the arrival of hybrid and electric propulsion systems, which deliver power to the propeller in a different way than conventional diesel drive. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312861/image/large-ad17eeddff8e04711effbaceb918b663.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312861">“Electric motors and shaft generators have a big influence on the way the propeller is designed to avoid overloading and how the blades are optimised to absorb the higher torque and efficiently convert it into directional thrust across the complete motor speed range,” says Dr Javdani. “These developments in power supply and their control systems affect every component in the drive train from the gearbox to the propeller.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312848/image/large-ef3bafa63a0086f73dd489c8686baabc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312848">Machines &amp; manpower&nbsp;The industrial process of manufacturing marine propellers, from the making of the moulds to the casting and final finishing, has remained virtually unchanged over the decades. As with their design, however, digital technology is increasingly prevalent. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> has over a dozen CNC machines, including 5-axis mills for machining blades, CNC lathes for turning shafts, rudders and brackets, and 3D printers for making smaller propellers out of plastic filament. These machines can work to tolerances within the thickness of a hair, but much of the process is still carried out by hand.The most common technique is sand casting using aluminium bronze for its high fatigue and corrosion resistance. The mould cavities are formed by individual spindle patterns, basically wooden replicas of the final propeller blades, which are made by hand in various shapes and sizes. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> has a storeroom containing hundreds of these patterns that can provide over 16,000 different design combinations by varying the number of blades and their pitch.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312840/image/large-99ecc389e2c7ad4f3805be7ee5e3a52a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312840">The patterns are a bit larger than the final article to allow for contraction as the metal solidifies inside the mould. The mould itself is built up into a propeller shape one blade at a time for reasons of flexibility, time and cost. Shaping the pattern is time consuming and costly, so full patterns – usually made of aluminium – are more expensive than individual ones, but the moulding time is shorter and they are very durable.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> also makes patterns quickly and cheaply from machined polystyrene, but these are less sturdy and more suitable for urgent one-offs. A few years ago, for example, the company was asked to replace a damaged propeller on Va Bene, Eric Clapton’s yacht. The boat was chartering in the Balearics and needed a quick turnaround, so the prop was unshipped in Barcelona and transported by road to the factory, where it was scanned and reversed engineered to make the polystyrene pattern. The new propeller was delivered within five days.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312841/image/large-794ec958759cf9be12207975821408a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312841">“When we get a project, we have to decide what kind of pattern to use based on final usage and the projected production run,” says Phare. “For up to three or four propellers we use a spindle pattern; over that we would probably use a full pattern; and if it’s a one-off a polystyrene pattern is ideal.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312862/image/large-9bdbac2a64a13e16c60f30f265a48e8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312862">50 years on&nbsp;Next year <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> celebrates its 50th anniversary and will build 5,500 square metres of new production space next door to the current facility. Over the decades it has produced propellers for almost every kind of craft imaginable from tankers, bulk carriers and warships to leisure boats, foiling tenders and superyachts, but more recently it has responded to a gradual change in mentality whereby shipyards and naval architects are involving its engineers earlier in the design process than was the case as little as five ago. &nbsp;“People are more aware of the interaction between propeller, rudder, hull shape, brackets, wake field, and so on,” says Dr Javdani. “We’re getting more requests to look into what’s going on at the back end of the vessel, which is why we now prefer to focus on design for stern gear rather than just propellers. We’re an engineering and manufacturing company, but we don’t just supply products anymore – we supply solutions.” &nbsp;<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/312843/image/large-6988f57547b1e4e5b6700b5ecaaf63bf.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20240528%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20240528T122739Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=f5b46e0d5ded8029e1aa87c5080b2ee963abf901e59e16aa09f6706b5184aefe" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312843">Molten metalThe industrial production work in the foundry has changed little over the decades and still relies almost entirely on human hands. The sand used to make the moulds is sourced from a single quarry in Cheshire because it has just the right pH and varied grain size (if the grains are too uniform and tightly packed the gases cannot escape from the mould). In order to shape the sand, it is mixed with a binder resin which is activated by catalyst just before use. The mould maker then has to work quickly to ensure the binder doesn’t set too early.&nbsp;“The ingots of AB2 aluminium bronze begin to melt at around 1100°C, but we heat them to a higher temperature to ensure the metal remains molten throughout the casting process,” explains metallurgist Ryan Leese, Foundry Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a>. “The metal has a long way to travel through the runner and filter system before entering the bottom of the mould – that takes time and all the while it’s losing heat. The worst that can happen is that it starts to solidify and stops moving, so we heat it up a bit more to give it the ‘legs’ to make sure it reaches the tips of the blades. How much we heat it depends on the size of the propeller and is based on experience.”As the metal turns from liquid to solid it shrinks by 4 per cent in volume, so a reservoir on top of the mould is capped with a ‘feeder head’ containing exothermic powder that generates its own heat. This cap is changed up to a dozen times to keep feeding the casting with liquid metal and avoid deformation through shrinkage.After the casting has been removed from the mould, the finishing process starts with ‘fettling’ with a grinder to remove any unwanted metal and rough patches. The final polishing is done by hand to create the trademark patterns that every propeller manufacturer adds to its products. However, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge</a> recently invested in a new robot – nicknamed ‘Dudley’ after the foundry’s longest-serving employee – which will be able to take over some finishing tasks. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312850/image/large-55100691f31cb9df68c86776889c243d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312850">Investment &amp; innovationOngoing investment in technologies and processes has resulted in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7016" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Teignbridge Propellers (Company)">Teignbridge Propellers</a> launching a number of innovations onto the marine market. In response to pitting in propeller shafts due to corrosion, for instance, in the late ‘80s it developed Temet 25, a high strength duplex stainless steel alloy with outstanding corrosion resistance in seawater. Temet 25 is now the yachting industry standard material instead of Monel K500 and Aquamet 22 or 17.&nbsp;Another innovation is the 5-blade C-Foil propeller, which has a special wedge-section near the blade root that helps reduce cavitation and improve efficiency. Independent computer modelling and comparative sea trials have shown it generates approximately 5 per cent more thrust than standard propeller designs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312849/image/large-85da61d07954ee12f8ca344e1e3c5733.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312849">In 2019, the company received a special mention at the DAME Awards for its Clamp on Blade (CoB) propeller, the result of a research project into high-efficiency propulsion systems in partnership with the Energy Technologies Institute in the UK. Thanks to a unique blade attachment method and propeller to hub diameter ratio, the detachable blade system is the most efficient of its kind. It also means yachts can more easily carry spare blades to replace damaged ones without having to use a slip or dry dock.

For this weeks edition of our charter newsletter <a href="https://yachtchartermarket.com/" target="_blank">Yacht Charter Market</a>, Jessamie Rattray sat down with Liliana Lopez, Head of Charter Management US at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>, to discuss managing the world’s largest charter fleet and the emerging charter market trends of 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312342/image/large-5edbaabcfd387d5491c03b1767016f3e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312342">Can you tell me about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>’s charter fleet, particularly the fleet managed by the US office?We have 160+ yachts in the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> charter fleet, 40 of which are managed by our US office. Despite being managed from the US, the yachts in our fleet cruise all over the world; we have yachts that spend time in the Bahamas, the Caribbean, up in New England, on the West Coast from Mexico up to Alaska and more.We even have a new Charter Manager who is based out of San Diego, California and the Baja California area of Mexico, and we are currently promoting that region for charter management and are attracting owners from there.A lot of our boats regularly come over to the Mediterranean in summer and cruise all over the region. We also have a yacht based in Greece that we manage out of our US office.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312343/image/large-9830cfaa5d4a0e3abbc66b1ab6004b6f.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312343">What goes into the management process to make it seamless and successful?One of the core principles in our charter management process is matchmaking. We try to attract like-minded and commercially-minded owners who really want to give us a shot at chartering. It's important to us that our clients share our ambition and understand what it takes to run a successful charter programme.During the pandemic, there was an influx of yachts that entered the charter market due to the tremendous increase in demand for yacht charters as a safe vacation alternative. What we then experienced was a lot of owners who had quickly put their yachts into the charter market, but maybe without having the experience or education about what makes a charter boat successful, and an unawareness of some of the realities that come with chartering. &nbsp;A lot of owners today are more ambitious, and have certain ideas about revenue from charter in their minds, which applies a lot of pressure. &nbsp;But that's why it's equally as important for us to be able to manage their expectations, right from the get go. We have these conversations with them while we're getting to understand what it is that they're looking for in charter management. &nbsp;We are very thorough, even when we receive interest from owners who are looking to transition from another brokerage house over to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>. We remain selective with who we take on because we don't want to over-promise and under-deliver, especially in the softening market that we're experiencing overall.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312344/image/large-aa3da34a57e671ecc422a7185a446098.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312344">In terms of bookings for 2024, how are you doing compared with this time last year?We're slightly ahead of how we were doing this time last year and have grown our fleet since then too. So we are staying really positive. There is interest, there are bookings, and people are still chartering...
