    I see two viable (& historically proven) approaches to boat design:
    1. experience: in the "olden days" this was how ships & boat were designed. They were the product of a lengthy process of evolution & selection (the bad ones failed...)
    2. scientifically: these days people study naval architecture, & many of them design sucessful, sometimes even beautiful boats.

    Now as I see it:
    Furkan, at present you seem to lack both...

    Science and engineering are all based on experience. If you were to study naval architecture, it will start by learning the background and history of the technology.

    ...mathematics are not really based on experience...
    but anyway, Furkan lacks both & apparently the appreciation of both, which is even worse.
