2012 student yacht design contest

[Sea Level YDE]

Students of all kinds of study’s with a refreshing and renewing vision on design are invited to join the contest. Like art academies, polytechnics for naval architecture, product design, industrial design etc. Also students sending work to Boatdesign.com are invited. Detailed technical knowledge of yachts is no necessity, but you need to have affinity with design. Who dares? http://www.itallstartswithdesign.nl

Do you have to be a student at an institution?

[Sea Level YDE]

Dear kdhorton, the yacht design contest is organised to get in touch with students.
Fresh talent! Professional yacht designers may not enter this contest. If you are a student but not at an Polytechnic, Academy or similar no problem to submit!
Hope I answered your question, regards Jeroen

Though I understand that this is just a styling contest, I hope that the judging board will take some care of the technical feasibility and soundness of the submissions. Otherwise it might become just a competition in sci-fi 3D modelling.
I hope you'll get back to share with us the final results of the competition.
Cheers and good luck!

Design the ultimate day motorboat for 6 persons appreciating design.

Keywords:
☆Luxury & elegance
☆Space & comfort
☆Ease & fun

Off course these keywords need to be integrated throughout the design. The concept requires a galley, a spacey day toilet, spacey day shower with adjacent changing room. No cabins are allowed. At most a simple area for a nap after lunch for 2. The boat length must be between 12 and 17m overall. The Length/beam needs to be approximately 3.3. The speed will be 25 knots.

The hull shape is free. On request a basic hull shape is available (PDF, AutoCAD, IGES). Just send us an e-mail.

Setting

Six friends decide "on the spur of the moment" that they want to go boating the next day with the motorboat and wish to experience a relaxing day on the water. The next day they collect snacks and drinks and drive to the boat and then they, with a minimum of acts, sail out the marina.

Their idea of a relaxing day on the water:
☆drinking coffee
☆2 á 3 hours driving
☆fun on the water: swimming, SeaBob-ride, diving from the diving board, water skiing, etc.
☆having a drink on the bathing platform
☆Gpreparing small food on the gril
☆enjoying music
☆freshen up, showering, changing clothes
☆having dinner in a town

When returning in the marina they close and leave the boat with a minimum of acts.
