TSP300 – Construction
In this stage of the first iteration of the boat design we have a high over look at the construction setup. We look at construction zones and determine for each zone the required construction scantlings. These are the thicknesses and geometry of the construction components required. For this project I used Lloyd’s Register Special Service…

General Arrangement
In this weeks episode we explore the General Arrangement. This is the drawing which shows the layout of the boat and the styling. It illustrates what the boat will look like when built, where the compartments are, how the boat will be used and the location of the various components.The General Arrangement takes the previously…

Sail, Rig, Keel and Rudder
This week we make 2 steps in the design spiral. We define the Sails, Rig, Keel and Rudders. These need to be done together as they are balanced with each other in sailing vessel design. In this stage of the design the areas of the Keel and Rudders are based on experience numbers, “Rule of…

2. Hull & Deck Design
This episode is about the design of the hull and deck for this project. I developed based on the parameters developed during the previous phase of this iteration the 3D hull shape for this project. I used the determined length overall, waterline length, beam over all, depth, draft and displacement to shape the hull. Further…

Design definition step
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…

The Design Spiral
The Design Spiral is the back bone of ship design. It provides a structured framework to ensure a balanced design ensuring focus on each aspect of the design. The Design Spiral describes the iterative process required to get from a set of requirements to a working ship. The Design Spiral I use for this project…
