Distance learning "Boat Design" course

[abohamza]

Hi,
Although, I got B.Sc. degree in Naval Architecture 1988 and been involved in designing some "Pleasure Yacht & Boats", I find myself rather inclined to go deeply in the secrets of designing "Speed Power Boats". So that, I am searching for Distance learning "Speed Boat Design" course ...... Please, let me know.

What kind of speed - 30 knots, 50 knots, 100 knots, & what size????

my target

My target is designing yacht, sport & fishing boats up to highest speed for these types... say 50 knots

If you really have so much experience in designing "Pleasure Yacht & Boats", I do not think you need from any distance course for designing high-speed boats. Maybe read some scholarly articles, many of which you can find in this forum. Otherwise a speedboat (I'm not talking about a vessel run by the HS Code), is designed like any other, taking into account the stresses its velocity imposes to its structure.
If you want to be innovative, yes you should study some aerodynamics / hydrodynamics.

So, if possible advise Websits, Pages and Online Books which can support ,,, thanks

Talk to Dave Gerr dgerr@westlawn.edu at Westlawn, http://www.westlawn.edu/ They have a course called Elements of Technical Boat Design, “Elements” – Introduction to Boat Design. It's designed for folks like you that already have a lot of technical knowledge.
