Diamond Blue Marine: Poulsbo Washington State

Yacht Construction: (USA – 2003 through 2005)

Kitsap Catamarans( Tacoma / WA)

After leaving Doyle Sails on City Island (NY), I moved to Seattle in order to set up the Catamaran factory. My job entailed the liaison with the Tacoma City Council for all permits,

permissions and labor rights, tax reductions and credits. Developing a relationship with the USCG, Army Corp, of Engineers Fire Dept and other

municipal and State Departments such as the EPA with whom I had already established a relationship prior regarding fish farming practices and protocols in the Puget Sound.

The setting up of the catamaran factory was a mammoth task, employing Boeing engineers

who were the only people in 2003 to be manufacturing composite parts using the “ Infusion” method.

A full refurbishment of the facility including a 400-foot long overhead rail cranes and a renovation of a naval store yard for the 100-foot long tools (moulds) prior to the

commencement of the yacht building had to take place.

I Built two 75-foot and one 95-foot Catamaran in Tacoma WA / USA for day charter in Hawaii which meant close relationship building with USCG testing labs.

The 95-foot Ferry Catamaran was fitted with a delta wing hydrofoil cutting fuel

consumption in half whilst creating a smoother ride. This vessel is now used between L.A. and Catalina Island.

Client: Kitsap Catamarans (owner Rudolph Oelofse Captain RSA Navy- personal friend)

Infusion capabilities: I was the first person globally to pull a 75-foot hull section using Infusion technology.

Completed in 48 hours after firing all Boeing employees. This was achieved by myself and 2 Guatemalan workers.

IT / Hard and Software capabilities:

First person to integrate cellular and satellite communications with navigation software to start, drive and navigate a vessel remotely via cellular communication signals to laptop

control (2003) for a private yacht.

Production Line Experience: Have designed production lines for various manufacturing plants along with EH&S protocols

for OSHA, EPA and production line quality control management systems.

Started first sail loft for over 100 years. Here I main refitted yachts brought down from the USA. Used my vessel, a 40 foot Grand

Banks as ferry boat to collect the sails from the “Tall Ships“, average sail weighs around 500 KG. used the top deck of my boat to roll the sails onto. Had 20 employees sewing and

repairing sails on the Island of Taboga 5 km from Panama Marina.

2009 to 2014 Owned and operated Rhode Island Marine

Only worked with yacht interiors and canvas. Employed 12 staff for 4 years. During which I

did thousands of jobs and projects including Taylor Swift’s Hinkley “picknick boat”

These are just some of the projects I worked on. Most of the money was actually made from the smaller projects that could be handled by

my staff without supervision.

“My clients”

Generally, expect and rely on the Marine Technician’s / Contractors in-depth knowledge of the

following systems of which I am well “au fait”

Yacht Interior Design & Structural Insight

Interior & Canvas Design for Chris Craft

Yacht / Small Craft interior design (Less than 100 foot) / cad patterning / pattern design for production lines.

Fabric Identification / weave design & manufacture coordination

Standard sail designs CAD print, Plot & cut. Siemens PLM Software (Product lifecycle management)

• Providing technical expertise to the designers and identification of and development of new innovative materials with fabric mills and weavers (UV stabilization / Mold- bacteria resistance / rub count analysis).

• Making sure material use, ordering and pattern cutting are in coordination. • Consolidation and integration of project parameters within inter-related fabrication

departments, regarding material design and usage to maximize profit margin and minimize wastage. As far as possible in alignment with the Materials Sourcing Strategy. (Stripes and patterns normally require high attention to detail)

• Develop patterns with the shortest production lead-time, digitize and clean physical templates. Commercial Strategy, highest production quality, client satisfaction and best price.

• Coordinate and plan materials development project. • Coordinate the approval of materials to meet performance and quality standard for client

requirements during the development stage. • Manage the materials database in PLM and cross reference client orders and pattern

database. • Work with the Production team to solve any materials related production-line issues and

coordinate / liaise with clients therefore. • Incorporate sustainability initiatives into all materials and product development without

compromising the materials functional requirements

Structural Insights.

Many of these points are similar to the requirements for composite yacht construction. Whilst building boats one is constantly in communication with material providers to ascertain the best materials and construction methods pertaining to the different materials used and how they may be affected in combination with other composite materials. Both temperature expansion and post curing times are factors that need to be included in designing the lay-up schedules and protocols for both hull and deck construction.

Ps. Working closely with designers can often be challenging as their knowledge of ever changing structural parameters for new (tested and untested) materials is often lacking. Delicate communication of material constraints and properties need to be impressed regularly.

Additional Work and Management Experience

Initially: Starting out as a Sailing School owner / operator / instructor (Durban RSA), then as a boat

Captain / Skipper, Marina Manager Caribbean and Florida USA) and Boat yard owner / operator and floating dry dock owner operator (Seattle USA) I have worked closely with the

EPA Coastal Marine Division and have in depth knowledge of governmental systems and regulations.

This experience led me into Bio Management Engineering in water treatment working in aquaculture where I have closely worked again with the EPA, FDA, (USA) REACH and ECHA,

(EU). Not limited to hydro-pod and fish farm net design and manufacture, but into legislative documentation authoring for environmental safety applications, but also into

feed supplements & additives to reduce fecal Bacteria.

Seattle / Aquaculture Whilst owning and operating a sail loft with 12 + employees….

I started developing and designing aquaculture pods for free range fish farming clients in the North Sea and inland systems for white shrimp and prawn farming operations. This included

but was not limited to design, labor management / scheduling etc. This involved the design of feed additives and delivery / storage systems and processing protocol design including EH&S protocols and other general operation systems design / manufacture and oversight. Finally

working with subcontractors, labor relations and final export quality control.

Jordan- Middle East / Medical facilities Through this work, bio-management and global EH&S contracts have been forthcoming in

medical as well as agricultural fields. For Jordan I designed Bio management protocols for a Hospital reducing secondary infections in ER rooms and Operating theatres by 80%.

DUBAI / UAE Consultation Based / I Liaised with local firms to designed Sewerage treatment systems for

housing projects. Montgomery International

DUBAI / UAE Poultry farm feed supplement / processing facility bacteria monitoring advisement and waste

water management / protocol design

Montgomery International

India / Agriculture I have worked on Banana diseases and production line systems for bacterial control systems in

processing and packing plants. Implementation and design for electro-static nanoparticle antimicrobials, I repurposed and fused with applicable substrates and carriers for different

specific applications which have increased the shelf life of the cut bananas by 2 weeks. Global value $100 million per day. Montgomery International

Central America / Agriculture I worked with Dole, Chiquita and Del Monte branded farms in their banana plantations to

reproduce the India work with complete success. Program / protocols and product design now adopted by agricultural supply giants, Disagro

and Agrocentro

Guatemala / Aquaculture Aquaculture. White Shrimp and Prawn farming and processing: I worked specifically on

production plant processing systems for bacteria control to reduce the bacteria count in final export products by over 70 %. Thus, extending shelf life and quality control through the feed

to production chains with additives and EH&S systems including new transport & delivery systems from farm to processing plant and finally to processing management and bacteria

monitoring systems. Program / protocols and product design now adopted by agricultural supply giants, Disagro

and Agrocentro

Guatemala / Municipal / National Government 6000 people died from Norovirus in 2015

The mayor, Alvaro Arzu (ex-president of country), commissioned me to advise and remediate the Noro Virus problem whilst finding a lasting solution. This required testing all public

transport systems to identify and isolate the source. Once identification was completed- 2 months, 12 lab assistants, 200 busses, 100 taxis and 50 water mains, the source was identified

and the remedy applied. (Along with application protocols, system and monitoring protocol design for ongoing evaluation).

This led to hospital trials which successfully reduced secondary infections by 80%.

Project stopped once the financial aid dried up. CLIENT: NEDSHIELD / Switzerland

Rose Farms

I designed Bacterial remediation protocols for the Flower Industry. Specifically, the “Rose” Industry in Central America on 3 farms where over 100 000 rose plants were tested.

Result, Cut Life extension of 2 day was developed.

Program / protocols and product design now adopted by agricultural supply giants, Disagro and Agrocentro

New Zealand CO. / Global Water Management

Deep Ground Water Remediation for “OIL & GAS” Industry Heavy metal / arsenic / Mico and Aflatoxin removal with general bacteria control.

This involved the research fabrication and use of nanoparticles and molecular adhesion to

porous substrate media to adsorb unwanted bacteria etc. This resulted in potable water and the elimination of sulfurous gasses.

The composition of the different media was specifically designed by me to operate in suspension at different depths and different altitudes for specific & definite periods of time to

control and target specific bacterial organism growth. Physical testing and proof trials were done throughout Central America.

Including hospitals, Oil & Gas Industry, sewer waste water plants, Lakes rivers and deep ground water wells.

Client: Zoono International / Dole, Chiquita, Del Monte, AMSA, Various Municipalities.

EH&S / REACH /ECHA / EIGA / FDA / EPA Having to open an import-export chemical company in Central America for the use, production

and distribution of antimicrobials for the “OIL&GAS”, Agricultural Industries and hospitals, I have been in exposed to and in close communication with titled agencies (above).

This involved training through Nedshield & Lisam International for EH&S Management & Certification courses through REACH / ECHA / EIGA / EPA and FDA seminars, lectures and

programs.

Military 2016-2017 NEDSHIELD

This experience led me to work for Nedshield (military systems design firm / EU) for whom I

designed a global geo-layer system to identify, track, monitor and eliminate “real-time” bacteria for various applications.

Thus, it is now possible to enumerate and identify what kind of bacteria is on an aircraft and see where it is, where it is going, where it came from, growth speed, etc.

An additional example; is that you can now identify, measure, and monitor the bacteria count for a container of supplies chemicals, water, food products fresh, prior to opening or entering

the stores. For more information please visit this link:

https://www.sanjuancoop.com/bms-company-overview/ It is now possible to estimate the value of that container, the shelf life expectancy of the

monitored produce prior to shipping, during and on arrival at any given port globally.
