Books For Designers
Principles of Yacht Design: by Lars Larsson and Rolf E Eliasson. International Marine, 1994.
A very good comprehensive text on yacht design. It is modern and
up to date. It introduces not only all the basic elements, but
use of Computer Aided Design as well. However, if deals only
with sailing yachts, although some of the basic principles are
the same for both power and sail. It is written in a way that
both the professional and amateur can use this book.
Skene's Elements of Yacht Design: 8th Edition
by Kinney, Published by Dodd and Mead. I do not know when the
last edition was published, but this is the granddaddy and the
bible for designers. Some of the information is out of date but
the basics are all there. This book should be on every
designers book shelf.
