INDEXPATACHE Project

ProyectoProyecto PATACHEPATACHE

The idea is to build in the Philippines, one of the most relevant and symbolic vessels of the history of the archipelago: a sailing, real-scale replica of a Patache.

Since the 16th century, this kind of vessel circumnavigated and explored the Philippine islands mapping its coast and geography. They participated in ambitious expeditions that covered the immensity of the Paci�c Ocean, and communicating continents with the discovery of the “torna-viaje” (the way back) setting the starting point of centuries of cultural and trade relationships amongst Asia, America and Europe.

The Pataches were speedy, exploring ships that were used as supporting vessels, mail deliverers or just guardians of bigger boats that were involved in geographic expeditions and commercial relations. The Patache keeps an undisputed place in the maritime history of the Philippines, in navegating among its islands and its cultural inter-oceanic identity.

The Project objective is the building of an accurate, sailing replica of one of these vessels in the Philippines; a symbol of the maritime history of the islands and its rich cultural heritage, undoubtedly linked to navigation. A very detailed research process that guarantees the historic rigor in designing, shapes and details, the replica of this outstanding ship.

And after being built, the idea is to sail the Patache around the Philippine archipelago, spreading the knowledge about the history of navigation, stopping over in many di�erent ports and cities along the way. In the ports, the ship would be open to the public, receiving on board visitors and o�ering many kinds of activities and promotional events.

2 OUR EXPERIENCE

NAVEGACIÓN Y OCIO holds the largest experience of its kind in the world, in the �eld of research and designing of historic vessels, building of sailing replicas, and planning and execution of sailing projects with ships.

More than a dozen historical sailing and non-sailing ships have been built; more than 70.000 travelled miles to 25 countries on 4 conti-nents; and more than 9 million visitors received, clear evidence of the professionalism, rigor and guaranteed success that you can get from Navegacion y Ocio in these kind of projects.

This work is done by professionals and experts in a variety of di�erent and essential �elds like, researchers and historians, ship engineers, craftsmen of all kinds -Wood, chandlery, sail; And also making good use of a number of historical sources and technological resources like: historical �les, museum background, computer-aided design and simulation, applying the latest technologies and materials in the ship-building industry.

Apart from designing, building and carrying sailing projects around the world, Navegacion y ocio, within its wide experience, has designed and built non-sailing, real-scale ships for museums, expositions and theme parks of all kinds.

In order to give a better idea of the work done, here is a short summary of some of the projects that the professional sta� of Navegacion y Ocio has participated:

2 Our EXPERIENCe

Nao Santa María and the Carabela Pinta, from the National Commission of the Fifth Centenary of the Discovery of America . Sailing replicas of two of the three ships that Christopher Columbus used in 1492. After undertaking the required historic research, design and construc-tion of the vessels, a voyage was carried out across the Atlantic Ocean and almost 20.000 miles were sailed while stopping over in 24 Spanish and 20 American ports.

The Replica Nao Victoria, made for the Expo 92 in Seville, was the �rst ship in history to circumnavigate the globe, commanded by Magellan and Elcano from 1519 to 1522. Historical research, design, and building of its replica was carried out, followed by an Earth circumnaviga-tion along 29.500 miles visiting 17 countries, and being the itinerant pavilion of Spain in the Aichi Expo in Japan in 2004.

The Galleon Andalucía built for Nao Victoria Foundation, is a sailing replica of a Manila galleon, a 500-ton ship, 3 decks, 1. 000 m2 of sail surface, and 12 cannons. Historical research, design and building were executed. Later a sailing Project was organized to visit 15 countries, 26 cities and achieved 23.000 miles.

3 HISTORICAL RESEARCH

“The commisioned Captain of the Patache San Lucas, Mr. Alonso de Arellano, together with the people onboardI, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, governor and general captain of the People and the Army, appointed by His Majesty to

discover the Western islands...”.(A.G.I. Governing Board 23, R19. Description of the Legazpi Armada´s voyage and course, 1564)

“In the major patax…in which soldiers and sailors will be placed according to needs. For the minor patax, which is due to serve the major vessels and discover ports and rivers, and other needed and suitable elements for the sake of

the aforesaid army. (The first ones in the Philippines, 1559)

From the 16th to the 19th century, the pataches sailed across the Philippines and the Paci�c Ocean. These fast and versatile ships were used to guard and explore the coasts of many islands of the archipelago. They were also part of the �eets bound for Acapulco to discover the endless Paci�c Ocean or take part in defensive expeditions of the Philippine islands.

Undoubtedly, San Lucas is the most popular of the pataches that make up the Philippine navigation history. It has a capacity of hardly 40 barrels and it played a leading role in one of the most extraordi-nary maritime adventures in the exploration of the Paci�c: San Lucas took part in Legazpi’s expedition, whose main mission was to discover a return route from the Philippines to Mexico, the so-called torna-viaje. The �eet was made up of �ve ships, one of which was a patache: San Lucas.

After an exceptional cruise, San Lucas was the �rst ship that managed to cross the Paci�c Ocean from West to East. It departed Mindanao and arrived to Acapulco on 9th November, 1565. Thus, San Lucas opened the tornaviaje route, which was the only route that connected The Philippines, the Americas and Spain for many centuries.

There is no worthier patache that can de�ne itself to be Filipino and to have played a leading role in one of the most important deeds of the maritime history.

4 Historical research and design methodology

The rationale behind the main features of the original Patache that sailed across the Philippinian islands for centuries, a �rst-stage historical research has been carried out. Historians and documen-talists have worked together with naval engineers in order to design its shape and details.

At the aim of keeping the historical accuracy regarding shape, sizes and equipment, the work meth-odology consists of a research stage; analysis of documental, iconographic and bibliographic resources; collection of data, as well as the application of the conclusions drawn from the research to the ship blueprint.

At this stage, we have turned to primary and iconographic resources �led in the General Archive of the Indies and the Madrid Naval Museum. Modern-era naval construction treaties as well as historical chronicles and contemporary bibliography have also been used.

• The first ones in the Philippines. Patricio Hidalgo Núchera. 1559• Spaniards’ discoveries in the Southern Sea. Several authors. 1991

Ancient measure units have been converted into the current metric system to outline the shapes and calculate the dimensions. The proportions represented in the historical iconography have been studied in relation to the average dimensions provided by the naval construction treaties and other documental resources.

After measuring the shapes, measures and proportions, the collected data are represented on the constructive shapes blueprint, which embody the conclusions drawn from the historical research and the techniques and concepts of the naval engineer together with the support of the informa-tion technologies used to convert into real data the main features of the patache.

5 The Patache Replica: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

She will have living facilities for 20 people. Regardless of the great sail area, a team of just 10 crew members will be enough to operate the sails, which will allow the ship to travel holding overnight guests, clients, pupils, etc… Making it possible for them to enjoy the sailing trip.

The design provides her with the latest Technologies and modern on-board Navigation Systems: Radar, GMDSS Systems, electronic charts…

The combination of these systems with the use of the sails makes the Patache a sustainability platform with a reduced ecological footprint, sea and environmental friendly, and working with the aim of self-su�ciency. The ship has installed a desalination plant to obtain drinking water, power units from renewable energies like photovoltaic, wind power, etc.

5. 1 BUILDING TECHNIQUEs

The hull will be built as a whole, in one piece of polyester resin reinforced with �berglass, covered with wood on all the upper works and all visible areas.

This new building method has already been proven successful with the construction of “Galeón Andalucia” (Andalucia Galleon). The Galleon, a ship with 500 tons of dead weight (8 times the volume of the Patache), has already travelled more than 23.000 miles without a problem after being built using this method, and her image is in no way di�erent from that of a ship made entirely of wood.

This mixed technique using �ber and wood shows numerous advantages:

- Reduction of maintenance and operation costs- Greater durability and resistance - Better technical features on resistance to impacts, torsion, and �exibility of the hull- Immunity of the hull’s bottom towards the Teredos Navalis and other wood parasites usually found on tropical waters like those of the Philippines

- Immunity towards the usual rusting found on steel hulls

The exterior appearance of the ship covered with wood on all its visible areas is undistinguishable from that of a ship made entirely of wood.

5. 2 MATERIALS

The structure will be built by strati�ed layers of polyester resin reinforced with �berglass, applying naval construction best practices.

For the laminate we will be using polyester resin approved for marine applications isophthalic and orthophthalic, reinforced with “Mat” �berglass strands and “Roving” suitable fabrics, as well as unidi-rectional �bers in areas where needed, until we achieve the required strength.

The minimal mechanical properties of the laminate based on Mat, with a weight content of 0.30 by �berglass by layer, will be:

Tensile Strength 85 N/mm2 Tensile Module 6500 N/mm2 Compression Strength 117 N/mm2 Strength Module 6000 N/mm2 Bending Strength 152 N/mm2 Bending Module 5206 N/mm2 Shear Strength 62 N/mm2 Shear Module 2750 N/mm2 Interlaminar-shear Strength 17.95 N/mm2 Maximal water absorption 70 mg

The overlay panels will be formed by coating the central or core material by manual lamination on both sides, or by adhesion of a dry laminate against both sides of the core material.

In the case of polyurethane because it is the most used material in the manufacture of reinforce-ments, will have the following minimum requirements:

Tensile Strength 0.85 N/mm2 Compression Strength 0.60 N/mm2 Shear Strength 0.50 N/mm2 Strength Module 17.20 N/mm2 Shear Strength 8.50 N/mm2

5. 2 MATERIALS

In general, the technical characteristics of principal construction materials will be:

Gel-Coats

Isophthalic Gel-Coats will be used for the resistance against abrasions, with incorporation of inor-ganic �llers of very high hardness.

Density - 25 ºC 1.4 g/cm3

Gel - Time (2% PMEK) 10 - 20 min Tensile Strenght 30 - 40 N/mm2 Bending Module 3000-4000 N/mm2 Barcol Hardness 35 – 45 Degrees

7. 1 MUSEUM FIELD

7. 2 TECHNOLOGICAL FIELD

Together with the design and shape of the Patache, an idea is developed to turn the boat into a museum, a real �oating gallery, a product to spread the historical maritime heritage of the Philippines, which has a worldwide unique capability of attraction.

When aboard the decks, which will be accessible to the audience, the visitors will be able to see the rigging, cordage, sails, artillery, pulleys, and other live aboard elements. Therefore, visitors can learn how these ships sailed and get an insight into what the conditions were like for the crew.

Ancient furnishings, navigational aids, food and packaging samples will be showcased in the hold and they will include explanation tags to take the visitors back in time to evoke an atmosphere of sailing in the XVI century.

Thus, the Patache turns into a museum-like product, which is unique in the Philippines, and an excep-tional means to spread the knowledge about its history.

The basic equipment of the Patache is compatible with the installations needed to manage a cutting-edge research platform with elements of energetic support, computer infrastructures, telematic capacities for land connections, data collection tools and general storage.

- Computer and telematic systems on board- Communication systems: INMARSAT satellite, LAN-WAN, SOLAS-GMDSS compatibility.- Measure, telemetry and data acquisition systems.- Sample collection and storage systems.

During the design and construction stage, tools and equipment will be included at the aim of develop-ing projects and speci�c activities for the protection of the environment.

8 POTENTIAL APLICATIONS

The Patache provides an itinerant platform and a unique, �exible resource for great social activi-ties.

The di�erent phases of the project could allow the implementation of the potential applications to be de�ned and classi�ed according to the time and venue of execution.

8. 1 the PATACHE under CONSTRUCTION

GUIDED TOURS. After �nishing the lining of the hull and with the structural elements still visible, the construction of the Patache can be viewed by a large number of groups: schools, public and private institutions, cultural associations, universities, and the general public.

Visitors will be accompanied by specialized instructors, who will explain the di�erent stages of construction, its characteristics and history, both as a XVI century vessel and of its activities in the Paci�c in later times. Posters and models will be used to represent, planning, building, drawing, and routes followed by these types of ships for maintaining trade and commerce, also period clothing of the o�cers and crew that lived-aboard.

SCHOOL/ COLLEGE ACTIVITIES In order that the construction of the Patache can be followed closely, young people will be o�ered an academic program implemented by courses, seminars, workshops, conferences and debates in schools and universities, which will be designed to have multiple activities with a view to awaken new interest in knowledge areas: History and shipbuilding in the Philippines, environmental awareness, shore line shipbuilding carpentry yards...

MEDIA COVERAGE The construction of Patache will be an attractive advertising showcase given the many events that can be held during its various building construction:

- A press conference for the presentation of the shipbuilding project.- Presentation of the project on those scenarios most appropriate: Boat Shows, Universities,

Museums. - Keel laying, hull sheathing, launching and �xing of the last sail, sea trials.- Signing of cooperation agreements on research programs with universities and museums.

8. 2 the PATACHE IN route

Once the ship is built, di�erent journeys and voyages will be designed between ports of interest linking the di�erent islands, for which di�erent programs can be developed.

FIELD TRIPS FOR PUPILS Designed for young people who will have the opportunity to attend a full academic program in order to guide them and awake in them vocations that may be useful in their professional development. An education set in values to strengthen student links with the sea and nature. While on the sea, the instructors will develop a training program com-posed of workshops on history, astronomy, biology, new technologies, music, photography, scuba diving ...

Also, special attention will be paid to sports activities, to encourage team building to strengthen-ing ties between participants.After each trip, award diplomas will be awarded to students in a closing ceremony attended by the Media.

COMMEMORATION OF HISTORIC AND SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS Many famous historical expeditions, such as Elcano, Magellan, Legazpi, Malaspina, Juan de Cuellar and the famous Balmis medical expedition, toured the islands of the Philippines during the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, exploring the islands and its natural resources to expand and complete the geographical and scienti�c knowledge at the time. Routes will be proposed to simulate those followed by these vessels linked to an academic program.
