Help needed by student.....

[Dave_raul]

Hi all,

i'm a polytechnic student currently in singapore... and i have taken on a final year project of building a yacht model.. but barely into the project, i have met with barriers... i need a lines plan of similar/sister yachts to proceed for references and i cant find any...

I urgently need a lines plan... The yacht's particulars are approximately
30m x 9m x 4.5m......

I hereby sincerely ask for assistances of any kind from any kind souls in this forum... i plead for help...

i would really appreciate it if anyone can help me in this matter....

Modern designers do not tend to publish their lines diagrams in the public domain. However the older designers did, you can find full lines drawings in many books featuring the older designers. I would recommend giving the scretary of the Singapore yacht club a call. They should be able to help.
Alternatively if you can describe exactly what sort of hullshape you are looking for then someone here may have some lines they can furnish you, but you need to specify a lot more information.
Good luck

CDBarry,

so sorry but i still cant find wat u said... could u enlighten me a little more??

[CDBarry]

Go to the Royal Inst of Naval Arch. site, and send an email to them and ask about buying a copy of the subject Maritime Technology Monograph.

Also, go on line to some engineering college libraries and try to find out who has it. You might also go by a local NA firm or shipyard and ask. There are plenty of people who do this kind of thing in Singapore and will have a copy of this reference.
