Checking a box off the bucket list sailing aboard Jim & Kristy Clark’s 138-foot Hanuman in the America’s Cup J Class Regatta.

Majestic, elegant, timeless, classic… The adjectives to describe the stunning J Class could go on and on. When seven of these gorgeous yachts met recently at the America’s Cup J Class Regatta it was a historic moment. Never before in the 80-year history of the class had so many of these beauties gathered together. One of these yachts had another distinction, an owner just as stunning.

Kristy Hinze-Clark is an Australian supermodel who grew up sailing Hobies in Australia, and then inspired by her husband, tech entrepreneur and passionate sailor Jim Clark, took her sailing to another level. Together they campaign two of the world’s most exciting racing yachts: their 138-foot J Class  Hanuman  and their 100-foot super maxi  Comanche.

“I love them both for different reasons.  Comanche  is pure speed and adrenaline, Hanuman  is pure beauty and elegance—and more comfortable,” said Kristy.

Indeed, whereas  Comanche  is a stripped-down carbon fiber racing machine,  Hanuman  is modeled after the classic  Endeavour II,  which has been called the most beautiful yacht ever built. The J Class yachts hail from the period when America’s Cup yachts mixed in equal measure speed and luxury; their interiors rivaling those of the world’s finest cruising yachts.

Kristy is a true competitor. Growing up in Australia, her goal had always been to sail the legendary Rolex Sydney Hobart. When she finally did, it was with the distinction of being the first female owner to take line honors. It was a particularly grueling RSHYR too, the most challenging in 20 years.

“There were a bunch of emotions that went with it: pure terror at one stage, excitement, and now total joy and fulfillment. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done,” she said of the experience.

While  Comanche  is a modern marvel in every way, Hanuman recalls the gilded age of the 1930s America’s Cup when Harold Vanderbilt, Sir Thomas Lipton, and Sir Thomas Sopwith were among the successful owners and defenders of the Cup.

By the 1980s, only three of the original 10 J Class yachts were still in existence but today the class is undergoing a resurgence with a mixture of refitted originals and new yachts built to original hull lines.  Hanuman  was designed by Dykstra Naval Architects in Amsterdam and built by Royal Huisman. This modern recreation, a new super J Class yacht, was launched in 2009.

The design adhered to J Class Association rules but optimized with more sail area, ballast ratio, righting moment, and building materials. Hanuman’s hull is built from Alustar, and its spars and rig are carbon composite. Below deck, interior designer Pieter Beeldsnijder has created a luxurious, classic interpretation of the period in French walnut.

Hanuman is named after the Hindu god of strength, heroic initiative, and assertive excellence. Kristy told me that in Asia he is the deity of choice for the hip kids. “He has the cool factor,” she said.  Hanuman’s name has served her well; she’s the winningest yacht in the J Class fleet.

On the water

The AC35 J Class Regatta started off with little to no wind; racing had to be canceled the first day when the breeze refused to cooperate. The second day brought more wind and for this lucky writer, a dream come true—a ride aboard  Hanuman!

Photos may capture the beauty and elegance of the yacht, but being aboard and feeling her velvety, immense power is another experience altogether. It’s breathtaking. When her more than 10,000 square feet of sail area is deployed,  Hanuman  appears to take flight.

Flying is always a good analogy for sailing, but the J Class takes it to a new level. Sailing aboard this majestic machine, it was as if a flock of incredibly tall graceful birds was swooping around us in a beautiful airborne ballet.

Hanuman  has a permanent crew of six but increases to 26 on race day. This wildly talented group is made up of professional sailors who count the world’s greatest races among their wins. It’s like a Who’s Who of yachting, including skipper Ken Read, tactician Kelvin Harrap, navigator Stan Honey, mainsail trimmer Warwick Fleury, Bowman Casey Smith and Shannon Falcone on mid bow among them. Interestingly, the core crew is basically the same for both  Hanuman  and  Comanche .

“We’ve sailed together in one form or fashion for years and years, through America’s Cups and J Class racing and Comanche and the like,” said Ken. 

It’s a particularly Zen-like experience since most of the time the crew communicates exclusively through their headsets. The only sound much of the time is of the rig slicing through the breeze as her hull glides through the water.

Hanuman’s  luxurious multi-sensory experience extends to dining. Throughout the race, stewardesses tempted us with a variety of delicious treats including gourmet sandwiches, healthy date balls, and adorable  Hanuman  gingerbread cookies. We capped off the day with  Hanuman’s  iconic Banana Rum smoothies, a tradition when racing is completed.

Going into the final day or racing,  Hanuman  was tied for first with  Ranger,  each with seven points, and Lionheart  just behind with eight. It was exciting, close racing, with  Hanuman  in the lead, but a dramatic turn of events, a rule infringement penalty as she approached the weather mark of the last race, dashed her hopes for the title. It was to be  Lionheart’s  regatta.

“It was a great event, despite that one costly error. Now we move on to the next regatta and don’t look back!” said Read.

Right after the J Class Regatta, it was on to Comanche in the Transpac where they set a new record! Unlike the luxurious   Hanuman, Comanche is a stripped-down racing machine. Photo: Andrea Francolini.

They didn’t have long to wait. Just a couple of weeks later Read and company had traded the Atlantic for the Pacific, breaking records on  Comanche  in the legendary Transpac. They set a new Transpac monohull record of 5 days, 1 hour, 55 minutes, and 22 seconds—smashing Alpha Romeo II’s  2009 record by a half a day. They also set a new 24-hour distance record of 484.1 nautical miles.

During the J Class regatta, Kristy shared that the focus of the program was actually on  Comanche  in the Transpac. She didn’t race—that wasn’t in the plan—because she didn’t want to be away from her babies that long. In addition to being a world-class sailor, Kristy is also a devoted mother of two adorable young girls. Dylan, age 6, is almost ready to take the tiller herself. Kristy is thinking of starting her with Hobies.

Off the water

Kristy and her husband are globetrotters who divide their time between Palm Beach and New York when they’re not sailing. It was actually a trip to Southeast Asia that inspired the name of their yacht  Hanuman.  Other favorite destinations include Italy, specifically Positano, Amalfi, and Tuscany.

“I love Italy. The people are relaxed, the food is great, it’s a good place to be,” she said. They also travel home to Australia to visit friends in the harbor once a year.

Culinary passions lean toward Europe. “Italian food and French wine,” she said laughing, adding that French Burgundies are her favorite, though it really depends on where they are, given how often they travel and the opportunity to race close to some of the greatest wine growing regions of the world.

I was curious what designers this supermodel favored; the answer is that she likes the classics. Ralph Lauren, Celine, and Australian designer Zimmerman particularly. “Loro Piana, Bruno Cucinelli, which are yummy to wear,” she added.

Sailing on one of these yachts is be part of something larger, part of history. Racing aboard  Hanuman  will be something that I treasure always—it was a true bucket list experience.

“We’re lucky people,” Ken Read says of J Class sailors, and I couldn’t agree more. Photo: Kara Hugglestone/Sail Couture.

“ It’s an honor to be part of the seven yachts on the same starting line and these incredibly cool owners who put this all together—it’s special. I think every person sailing on all of these boats realizes how special it is. We’re lucky people,” Ken said.

Still, you needn’t be aboard to experience the thrill of the J Class. Just watching them is a real love affair for any sailor. Be sure to catch them in August for when they come back together for World Championships in Newport.

Launched in 2009, Hanuman clearly demonstrates the differences between the latest generation and the 1930s versions. The older versions were strictly for racing, with no cabins. While Hanuman is based on the 1937 Endeavour II , this yacht’s lower deck is defined by its French walnut cabinets and joinery (polished with a 14-step process), along with burled wood tables, and white-linen fabrics to give a 1930s feel. Make no mistake: Everything else is contemporary. The hull is an advanced Alustar alloy, the deckhouse carbon composite, and the carbon-fiber mast has remote controls to modify the sail shape or mast bend. Hanuman also has a large engine room and state-of-the-art entertainment center. It’s worthy to note that the creation of Hanuman , and the other modern J’s, was significantly more complicated than the original J Class yachts. The designers had to fit the 21st century systems into a 1930s hull plan. It had to retain the classic look, but be modern in every sense.

Inside J class yacht Hanuman

• Harriett Ferris
• February 8, 2015

We take a tour inside this beautiful J class yacht

For Hanuman’s interior, Jim Clark stayed loyal to the designer behind Hyperion and Athena, Pieter Beeldsnijder . His style has been particularly successful aboard this yacht – intricate carvings of the god Hanuman complement a spectacular French walnut finish achieved by art and architectural renovation experts Acanthus International.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.

Rosatom obtained a license for the first land-based SMR in Russia

On April 21, Rosenergoatom obtained a license issued by Rostekhnadzor to construct the Yakutsk land-based SMR in the Ust-Yansky District of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

ROSATOM and FEDC agree to cooperate in the construction of Russia's first onshore SNPP

ROSATOM and FEDC have signed a cooperation agreement to build Russia's first onshore SNPP in Yakutia.

Rosatom develops nuclear fuel for modernized floating power units

Rosatom has completed the development of nuclear fuel for the RITM-200S small modular reactor designed for the upgraded floating power units.
