In the most general terms the architect is an engineer who works out the calculations and how to build the thing. The designer works out how it...
Good one Ken :D :D
Interesting projects. Looked through much of their web site and could not find anything on how long they have been in business??? Kelly Cook
Right. Really does look different in that view. Of course now I will natter about the slope of the deck (and portholes). Seems extreme. I...
That is better I think. Next adjustment I would make is to locate the hull portholes further aft. Too close to the bow as they are. Kelly
Those "portholes" aren't bad. But I would not make them such an extreme long span. Instead break up the same overall length into at least 4 sets...
Well, I haven't bought/sold any yachts. But in the production boat world most of these first year sales are the result of the buyer not using his...
A lot of questions. Just the topic of who's-who in design is a big discussion in itself. Here are some more threads on that - Yacht Designers...
It is now clear that cowboys are not limited to the US :D
If you want to play with glass panel shapes for the hardtop then chevrons or triangle themes might be fun. The 2 rectangular panels look like an...
The long skylights work very well for the forward cabin. But not for the hardtop, I would loose those. Replace with a retractable panel if they...
Egad, looks like one of the royal yachts from Star Wars! That, BTW is a compliment, I am a Star Wars fan. Kelly Cook
Great looking design. However I would hardly characterize it as a "Down East Styled Commuter"! Kelly Cook
A bow hatch makes a lot of sense to me ....
The doors in the side of the hull do look VERY cool. And really open up huge areas of the hull for stowing tenders. But I can't help wondering...
I agree Jannick. For a sailing auxiliary to go with a large yacht a multi-hull (catamaran would also work) makes much more sense than the usual...
Looks like the perfect choice for a Wally .... <imagine rude smilie here>
Very interesting exercise with the elliptical against the decks. Would this be another way of saying that some designs stretch the decks too long...
This is an interesting topic for those of us peering in from the outside. I was not aware that a captain might stay on with the same yacht after...
In my case the whistle would be moot, considering my hearing :p
