A nav. arch. thesis about "yacht design"? That's a pretty vague topic thesis, if I may say so.

Does it have a more specific topic perhaps (sailing yacht stability, or powerboat stability or ...)?

All right ... it's a start. It will not be enough though - you will also need a hull form (sections).

What exactly is it that you need to do? Preliminary stability calculation (I'm guessing here)? It would be wise to check out some of the books in the link for a general idea of how to begin.
