Unidentified Sailing Objects
Description
The modern superyacht is a complex piece of engineering that often incorporates significant levels of new and emerging technology. Despite having invested significant amounts of capital in designing and building these yachts, the owners are very conservative with the choice of hullform; the vast majority of large yachts are monohulls. In contrast to the design process for commercial vessels, there is often no rational hullform selection process. Bringing together experience from over 15 years in the design of specialist commercial vessels and superyachts, James Roy from BMT Nigel Gee will explore a range of hullform types and technologies, from the conservative to the radical, and debate their relative merits for application to large yachts.
