CHAPTER 2 RECREATIONAL BOAT DESIGN The marine industry is a competitive market where manufacturers and designers must differentiate themselves for the competition by innovative designs, attractive products, and new production techniques. Recreational boats have been growing in popularity especially with the new production techniques and new materials, which gives unusual design opportunity. Boat design is an iterative, ‘trial and error’ procedure where the final result has to satisfy certain requirements that specified beginning of the design. For a new design, designer has to start with a number assumption and work through the design with them until all assumptions satisfy the requirements. Of course it wont be in certain case for the first iteration, so the designer will have to change some assumptions and repeat the process, normally several times. This turn called as design spiral. This chapter is concerned with the boat design characteristics and design process including how to begin a design, how assumptions are reached to final product and how operates the design spiral. Beside design process and design methods, the computer application in design will be mentioned. 2.1. Recreational Boats Recreational boats (crafts), which used for leisure, sport and pleasure activity, are the water crafts in different sizes and forms. These boats are called in different names such as pleasure craft (boat) and leisure craft in literature because of its characteristics, which define it. Recreational crafts can be classified in small crafts. “There is several different definition of a small craft in the open literature. As it comes with its name, all of the definitions are related with the size, especially the length. For example, • Less than 150 ft in length • Less than approximately 100 ft or 30 m in length. • A pleasure craft with a length between 2.5 and 24m. • Below the size covered by Merchant Shipping classification 5PDF Image | FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC BOAT IN SERIAL PRODUCTION
