The Definition step is the foundation of the design. Here we define the starting point, the better de definition the less iterations we need to complete the design. Normally this is done with an interview with the client where we try to discover what the true wish of the client is by deep listening and digging deep to ensure project succes.
For this design there is no client, we are our own client so we are very free. I set a few design limitations and explain the design aim. Concluding with the basic dimensions determined by using reference ships.
Ready for next weeks 3D hull and deck model, let me know in the comments what you think are the best hull features for this project and I might incorporate these into the design.
