    That is a bit broad request, do´nt you think? Which one of the 14000 yachts and ships Lürssen built did attract you so much? And why would you like to design it youself? Is the very best Megayachtbuilder in the world not good enough for your purpose?


    Regards

    Richard , I want to study this tipology of yacht to increase my personal knowledge.I read on a magazine an interview where a member of Luerssen talked about lack of naval engineer in Germany and generally in Europe.
    Luerseen build semicustom yacht using a base platform where enhance the lenght with central cylindrical portion of hull.
    They can't move away for this ''good'' platform because no one guarantee them a good efficiency of the ship.
    I mentioned Luerssen but whatever builder is the same.I am only a student with the appeal for megayacht .
    Does these keel belonge to a series?

    Regards

    Guglielmo, who so ever made this statement about semicustom in context with Lürssen was definetily wrong! That is the sheer nonsense. If there is one yard in the world having almost everything at hand, then it is Lürssen. And they must not fear new designs, they build them, one per month!
    Next point is the statement about the lack of NA on the European market...nonsense.

    Which sort of keel are you asking for?

    Regards
    Richard

    Richard ,Thanks a lot for your information.
    I want to know if i design a megayacht's hull i must use a series like METHODICAL SERIES 64 or METHODICAL SERIES NPL and pick my information (various resistence etc...) from there .
    How does a N.A. design his megayacht's hull?How does he begin?
    I don't think is the same like design a yacht of 50 ft that many Architects design without sense but only for a decent style of sovrastructure .

    Guglielmo.

    I would recommend to ask some of our guys here that do the job actually. There are "Guillermo" and "Ad Hoc" for example, both are working on some larger scale vessels. Use the PM function!
    Making the statements I would like to make here, may setup some of my peers.

    Regards
    Richard
