 | Computer Cutting For Boat Building
Computer modeling is by far the most efficient means of defining hull form, offering a designer access to powerful analysis tools for assessing stability and performance, as well as a highly accurate means of creating the structural parts and pieces of a boat via computer controlled cutting. For more information about the benefits and cost savings offered by up-to-date computer aided boat design and computer aided boat building check out this article. Michael Kasten.

 | Computer Prototyping and Development
When considering a new vessel, what's the best way to get a preview of the shape? The computer is an enormously useful tool for creating a vessel prototype in order to visualize the shape in a "virtual" 3D environment. What about lofting and fairing? One can then use the computer generated model as a fairing and lofting tool. Michael Kasten. (Added: 10-Jan-2002 Hits: 3154) | Rate | Visit

 | Controllable Pitch Propellers
Although this article is brief and to the point, it considers several of the issues that arise when asking the question, "What, if any, are the advantages of using a CP propeller on a 'trawler-yacht' or sailing vessels?" Michael Kasten. (Added: 10-Jan-2002 Hits: 2858) | Rate | Visit

 | Cool New Gimmicks... - A Cautionary Tale
Here are a few thoughts on what should and what should not be considered desirable features of any new motor vessel. Most particularly, this article addresses the new power vessel vogue: Passagemakers.... and the various gimmicks being offered on them. Michael Kasten. (Added: 10-Jan-2002 Hits: 2838) | Rate | Visit

 | Design of Seagoing Rowing Boats
Seagoing rowing boats of high performance are difficult to design because of the multiplicity of conflicting factors to do with ergonomics and seakeeping, combined with the low power available to drive the boat. (Added: 6-May-2002 Hits: 1292) | Rate | Visit

 | Engineering the Sailboat—Safety in Numbers
How do you design a rig strong enough to stay up in the worst weather, but not so oversized that it creates excess windage and diminishes stability? How is a hull engineered to hold together in adverse conditions but not built so heavily that it sails like a bathtub? Where is the line between safety and performance? Eric W. Sponberg.

 | Essential Design Data
Being concerned about your vessel's survivability in ultimate conditions makes ultimate sense! In view of the cost of the vessel, and the cost of the entire expedition that any ocean voyaging represents, the cost of thorough design analysis does not amount to a significant percentage of the cost of ownership. It does however amount to a high percentage of one's peace of mind on the briny deep. Michael Kasten. (Added: 10-Jan-2002 Hits: 5997) | Rate | Visit
