I would recommend Southampton Institute at http://www.solent.ac.uk/
But I would also note that I consider German naval architecture excellent, and that you might check out schools there and Delft University in The Netherlands using http://wwwvl.naoe.ish.dtu.dk/Universities.htm

Best wishes form New York!

Hallo Stephen
Thanks a lot for your mail.
I know 2 people how have allready been in Southhampten and they both broke up after a while. Both told me that It woulden't be very good.
What about the States or Neuseeland and Austrailier aren 't the same good ones ??
Thanks so far

Hi Uli, two years ago I was a student at the second year of the course offered at Southampton Institute. I had three German mates, the three of them graduated (I broke up). You might be able to get in touch with them through Stephen Wallis at the Southampton Institute. I don't say that they will convince you to study there, it's just that they might have different opinions that the two guys you spoke with. Two of them did a few years of boatbuilding before taking the course.

Personally, I would go for an HND (if it's in the UK) or a more general Naval Architecture degree.
