DESCRIPTION:
The Title Says It All This book is filled with the 'rules of thumb' a boat or ship designer uses to create a new design. The idea is to develop the design to the point where it will function at all levels. The 'rules of thumb' are clearly developed and include the significance of each one. The book takes you through the design process, balancing each feature against others until a complete preliminary design emerges.The next step in the design process, though not covered by the book, would be detailed design. This is where serious mathematics, hyd. Peter Walsh said Cy Hamlin's two cents on the art of small craft design. Cy Hamlin is a designer with a broad range of designs to his credit - from the Hudson river sloop Clearwater to the Controversy series which he co-designed with Farnham Butler. In Preliminary Design of Boats and Ships he has written a very clear and sensibly organized treatise on his approach to the design process.In addition to his work as a designer Cy Hamlin has taught design to students at the Landing School of Boatbuilding and Design for many years. The text has been informed by this experience. The basic terminology, ph. CM said Really just for us naval architects as it`s mostly a. Really just for us naval architects as it`s mostly a technical book. Still well written and accessible for quite everyone.
Included are all the basic rationales and data needed to undertake a designing project, presented in a style that successfully bridges the gap between the technical approach of naval architecture and the simplification of consumer magazine articles. This volume covers a wide variety of watercraft, so it can be equally useful if you're envisioning a cruising yacht or a sixty-foot fishing boat.. Written by an experienced naval architect, it prepares intelligent amateurs to create conceptual vessel designs ready for a naval architect's finishing touches. Intended for people who are not boat designers -- and not to make them into naval architects -- this book describes how to bring a dream boat into being
