Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:04:30 +0000 http://blog.royaltyuniverse.com/2009/11/principles-of-yacht-design/#comment-944 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. <br /> Rating: 3 / 5 This publication can be summed up as a reasonable introduction into conventional “modern” 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.

Thanks to the publisher and writer.Because I calculate this more weight of hull rising .
