2.5.1. The Design Statement The Design Statement is a short document, which is used to clarify the purpose and goals of the vessel. It is also used to determine the requirements of the owner and to guide the designer in making rational choices between design trade-offs during the design process. A Design Statement consists of the following parts: 1. The Purpose or Mission of the Vessel 2. A Measure of Merit for the Vessel 3. The Owner's Design Requirements 4. The Design Constraints 2.5.1.1. The Purpose or Mission of the Vessel The purpose or mission of the vessel should be defined using one sentence or paragraph. For a successful design to determine the mission of the vessel is a necessity. For example, a mission statement for a commercial passenger vessel might be: "A boat designed to carry passengers between Karıyaka and Balçova in a fast, safe, and comfortable manner that will maximize profits over the life of the vessel." This statement emphasizes speed, comfort, and safety without disregarding the need to make a profit. Any specific owner's requirements or limitations can be defined later, in one of the subsequent parts of the design statement. A simple mission statement like this is important to keep the designer (and owner) focused on the overall purpose of the boat and to help with the resolution of the enormous number of design trade-offs that will be evaluated. A mission or purpose statement for a pleasure vessel might be: "A coastal cruising power boat designed for a retired couple to live aboard year-round." (Hollister 1994) This statement tells the designer an enormous amount about the overall purpose of the boat with a few words. There is a temptation to include many of the requirements and limitations here (such as speed and range), but the goal here is to define one or two key elements, which uniquely define the design. In this part it is not to specify the type of engines, the size, or the cost, unless they are major design constraints. 16PDF Image | FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC BOAT IN SERIAL PRODUCTION
