For all those who love boats, their 'lines' are an essential
element in the appreciation of individual craft. But what are these
lines and how are they created? This book introduces the reader to
the key principles of yacht design in a straightforward and
understandable manner, allowing them to be aware of the elements
and processes involved. Most of the complex maths has been replaced
with simple rules of thumb. Any boat owner will benefit from
understanding the characteristics of boat design which will help
them if they want to modify the hull, rig, deck layout or
accommodation. It will be equally useful to boat buyers who want to
ask questions like: "How will she sail?"; "How much will she
cost?"; "How easy is it to change things?" and "How can I reduce or
increase sail area without upsetting the balance?" Boat owners and
buyers will be able to feel more confident when talking to
designers and boatbuilders about their current or future boat.
While novice boat designers can start their journey with this book,
giving them a good foundation whether they want to use pencil and
paper or Computer-Aided Design. So, if you are any of the above, or
simply have an interest in yacht design, this is the book for you!
