Laminate design

Is the following laminate sequences (for 14m coastguard boat) 100% correct or there is a better laminate schedule ?

Bottom
-Gray gelcoat.
-CSM 300 (one layer).
-BXA glass 600/100 (2 layers).
-U.D glass 600/100 (one layer)
-Foam 25mm (core-cell)
-U.D glass 600/100 (2 layer).

hull side:
-CSM 300(one layer)
-BXA glass 600/100 (2 layers)
-U.D glass 600/100 (one layer

Another question:
I know that AutoCad is the most common design software used for marine industry, but is it the best or there are other software which are better than AutoCad? Example Pro-E or Solidworks.
Is Pro-E suitable for marine design.

Your laminate depends all on the size, shape, and waters intended for the boat. Much engineering goes into the calculations. I venture to say that no designer will officially say "Yea that looks good" without knowing MUCH more detail. Probably more detail than could be conveyed in a forum. I just obtained a free lamination "annalyzer" from Vectorply. It might be a good starting point for your research.

For software, there's lots of different types. I use a combination of AutoCAD, Rhino3D, and some pretty hefty spreadsheets and that's just for canoes and kayaks.

Hope that points you in the right direction!
