Paceship PY 26. The Paceship PY 26 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by John Deknatel, president of C. Raymond Hunt Assoc. and first built in 1972.

In 1982, the PY 26 design was developed into the Tanzer 27, with a deck-stepped mast and different interior.

Production

The design was initially built by Paceship Yachts of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada starting in 1974. Production was transferred to AMF Corporation in Connecticut, United States in 1977. In 1982 the hull molds were sold to Tanzer Industries and they produced a slightly longer model called the Tanzer 27. The design is now out of production, with 364 examples having been produced.

Design
The Paceship PY 26 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with a keel-stepped mast, a raked stem, a near-vertical transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. There was also a stub keel/centreboard version produced. The fin keel model displaces  and carries  of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel fitted.

The boat can be fitted with either a small inboard motor or an outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.

Operational history
The boat was at one time supported by an active class club, The Paceship, but the club is currently inactive.

In a review Michael McGoldrick wrote, "The Paceship PY26 has to be described as a big 26 footer. Many manufacturers would have marketed this boat as a 27 footer, as did Tanzer. And with a displacement of 6000 pounds, this boat is reaching the upper limits of what can be realistically pushed around with an outboard motor. The PY was available with an optional inboard engine."

In a paceship.org review Jay Moran concluded, "the PY 26 is quite large for its length, but the boat still sails very well, even in light air with a 150% genoa. In heavy airs, the boat feels stable, secure and is usually remains fairly dry. The large tiller steered outboard rudder makes the boat very responsive and provides excellent helm feedback. In summary this is a well built, roomy, and beautiful looking, high performance sailboat".

In an owner review Tristan Nettles wrote, "all in all the PY26 is a strong and capable boat that needs 10 knots or more of breeze to really handle well. It is simple in its systems and capable of offshore passages. My biggest knock against the boat is its underpowered engine. The boat is very big and spacious for its size. A good starter boat.".

Marija Drndic. Marija Drndic (born February 11, 1971) is the Fay R. and Eugene L. Langberg Professor of Physics at the University of Pennsylvania. She works on two-dimensional materials and novel spectroscopic techniques.

Early life and education 
Drndic studied physics and mathematics at Harvard University and spent a year at the University of Cambridge in the Semiconductor Physics Group. At Cambridge Drndic worked on quantum transport of coupled gases with Michael Pepper. At Harvard University she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated summa cum laude. Drndic was awarded a Clare Booth Luce Fellowship, the Harold T. White Prize for Excellence in Teaching and the Robbins Prize from Harvard University. She remained there for her doctoral studies, working with Robert Westervelt on microelectromagnets for cold-atom experiments. She before joining the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Pappalardo Fellow. As a postdoctoral researcher Drndic worked on electron transport in cadmium selenide nanocrystals. She worked alongside Marc A. Kastner and Moungi Bawendi on novel spectroscopies.

Research and career 
In 2003 Drndic joined the University of Pennsylvania. She was awarded an American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund Award in 2004, and has since been supported by the National Science Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and DARPA. In 2005 Drndic was awarded a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers.

Her work considers low-dimensional materials including nanowires, nanocrystals and biomaterials. Drndic uses electron beams to image and shape materials. In particular, Drndic works on two-dimensional nanopores, which are nanoscale size holes that can be used to detect single molecules. They are typically used for biomolecular analysis, but were unable to sequence DNA. Drndic demonstrated it is possible to use light to control the shape of nanopores, indicating it may be possible to fabricate them using light. By removing individual atoms from the nanopores using ion beams, Drndic demonstrated that the nanopores can also be used in water desalination. She has shown that nanopores can be integrated with field-effect transistors to sense nearby ionic and electrical currents. They can also provide information on the physical and chemical properties of biomolecules including DNA and proteins.

Selected publications 
Her publications include;

 
 
 

Drndic holds several patents for electronic devices and thin film structures.

Outer Ring Road, Kanpur. The Kanpur Outer Ring Road, also known as Udyog Path is an under-construction  6 lane access-controlled expressway ring road encircling the city of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India with a speed limit of 120kmph for Light Vehicles and 90kmph for Heavy vehicles.

It will start from Mandhana on Kanpur Aligarh Highway and will pass through Kanpur Jhansi/Agra Highway at Sachendi, Hamirpur Road near Ramaipur Defence Corridor, Allahabad Highway at Maharajpur, from there it will cross Ganga river near Chakeri Airport (where a connecting road is also proposed till Kanpur Airport, Chakeri Business City and Awadh Vihar Residential Area) and a bridge is also proposed on Ganga River. Then it will reach Unnao district where it will connect Raebareli Highway and under construction Awadh Expressway or Lucknow Kanpur Expressway, further it will pass through Kanpur Lucknow Highway and Trans Ganga City and will again enter Kanpur district by crossing Ganga river  between Ganga Bairaj and Bithoor and end at Mandhana forming a circle. 

This Udyog Path/Outer Ring Road will cost about ₹9,400 crore. On 11 September 2021, NHAI issued notification for acquiring land for 22.5km first phase of ring road. The first phase will be between Mandhana and Sachendi whereby land of 79 villages will be acquired. In total, there will be four phases, and notification for land acquisition of the other 3 phases has been issued.

This Outer Ring Road/Udyog Path will play a major role in the development of the Kanpur Metropolitan Area as many IT cities, Housing Societies, Integrated Mega-Townships, Wellness City, Educational Hubs, and Commercial Hubs, Defence Corridor, Mega Leather Cluster, etc. across multiple 1000's of acres of land are proposed to be established around this Ring Road. It is set to offload nearly 4.5 lakh vehicles off the main roads of the city of Kanpur as of now.

The Construction has started on 3 phases and tender process for last phase is in the process. 

The deadline for this project is January, 2027.

Status updates
 Aug 2019: PWD department have done survey and costing estimates.
 Aug 2020: Uttar Pradesh Government to prepare new alignment and new detailed project report whereby the length of ring road could get shortened.
June 2021: Project approved by NHAI. 
July 2021: Survey for land acquisition is expected to start from August-end.
August 2021: Work for making of Detail Project Report started.
September 2021: Notification for 1st phase land acquisition issued by NHAI.
August 2024: Work has started on three phases and will begin soon on the last phase after tender finalisation. It is expected to be completed by January, 2027.
