Hello, I'm new to boats, I'm looking at doing a small boat as my first project. Just so I can make mistakes on something not very costly. The...

So you've never taken a FEA approach to hull design?
Thanks again for the replies. How about I change my question slightly. for any select ship, how do you validate the stresses the boat will endure...
To Mr Efficiency. Yes. I'm looking to get the basic theories of design under my belt. Building the boat is a second concern to me. I want to be...
speed range is something I still don't have a definitive answer for at the moment. Lets say enough to get it to plane. number of passengers 2 to 3...
