Kingston Harbour Wind Buoy

CORK , with support of some KYC members, are working with a Queen’s Engineering class to design a wind buoy for the Kingston Harbour. There are three groups of students working on their own prototype designs, to be completed by the end of the current winter semester.

The amount of funding each group gets from their program is only $90 each, so we are looking for members of the sailing community to help increase the total budget of the students to help make the prototypes more viable. (Instruments and microprocessor equipment add up quickly!)

We can’t guarantee the prototype(s) will be ready for full deployment for this summer, but CORK will  retain all ownership rights of the design and equipment, so they can be used in future designs.

We hope to build on the students’ work and build this to be a multi-year program with the aim of a permanent solution in the next few years. Eventually we plan to seek alternative forms of funding (grants and sponsorship), but for now we are asking the sailing community to help us give the student program a boost.
