This is a very thorough and well structured book and helps a great deal in understanding the principles of boat design.

This is one of the best modern references on the topic of sailing yacht design. Highly recommended for anyone planing to design a sail boat. I personally would put more emphasis on optimizing the prismatic coefficient as a function of design speed. I would also make the book larger and include more information on power boats, various piping systems and electrical systems.

This publication can be summed up as a reasonable introduction into conventional “modern” yacht design. However, it seems to be tailored towards amateur boat builders or even the keen sailor. A lot of ground is covered, but it only scratches the surface on many subjects. But perhaps this is all one should expect from a publication that only claims to cover the “principles” of yacht design. In my opinion as a naval architect, the book seems to lack depth and scientific data that could make it an interesting read or reference work for the professional.
