Sailing yacht model that is presented below is a boat that is propelled by wind and to certain extend by a small diesel engine. Today, ship and boat design software can be used to visualize the hull form of a yacht in 3D view. Ship designers or naval architects can use the available hull forms and modify them according to the principal dimension of the new hull which they want to design or create from scratch. Please check the official website of proteusengineering.com to get download the demo version of the software.
In fastship software, the visualization of the hull of yacht initially is given in half-breadth view. It can be confusing for the customer who has ordered the design. First time user of Fastship can easily present a complete hull form of the yacht by pressing Reflected Image button in the toolbars to show both sides of the hull form.
Another naval architecture software that is available for free is Delfship. Ship or yacht designers can download the fully functional free version from its official website at delftship.net. Although designing yacht can now be done by computer software, a comprehensive knowledge about hydrostatic and hydrodynamic principles of yacht have to be studied by designers to ensure that the marine vehicles which they design are safe and stable.
Yacht Design According to Perry is a recommended book for anybody who wants to design, build or buy a yacht.
To see the effect of the reflected image, we can rotate the hull of the sailing yacht by pressing the spin button and then with the computer mouse we bring the cursor to the hull and begin dragging it to left or right and up or down. Now, look at the above picture of the yacht that I have rotated to the left. The main deck covers the whole top area of the hull. This sailing yacht model has got a long vertical keel or fin to balance the wind force on the sails and mast of the yacht. by Charles Roring
