    I am a fresh (Naval Architecture and marine engineer), my studies concentrated on merchant and steel vessels, I have a small background on yachts, so I am looking for a technical book at least (not for beginners), on yacht design especially plan hull, I want to learn about how can I generate a plan hull and how hull shape affects performance

    For example:
    (the effect of dead rise angle and its variation along the hull)
    (Longitudinal curvature along the buttocks)
    (Shape of the chine in plan and profile view)
    (Variation of "V" along the hull from deep V to Shallow V)

    Also I am looking for another one on (wooden construction of yachts) explaining the various wooden connections and scantling of construction members
