Powerboat Design Books

[jonstinton]

Hi, I'm new to the forum part of this web site... I'm a 3rd year student at Coventry University studying Consumer Product Design with a year to go. I'm intending on specialising in boat design as i have done several projects marine related already and am getting really stuck into my boat design.

My question is that I would like to get a 'bible' of powerboat design if you like. I have a couple of books on yacht design, but i would also like something about the in's and out's of powerboat design.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

Many thanks,

Jon Stinton

Have you got any work on powerboat cockpits, I'm a student at northumbria doing Transport design and i'm trying to re-design the Sunseekr XS2000 cockpit. Have you got any good tips or advice on how to get the perspective just right.... If you've got any underlay stuffe it would be great if you could email it to me. mattosmond@yahoo.co.uk
