Step
1. The Design Statement.
- Define the purpose of the boat and quantify and list
the major design attributes in decreasing order of
importance. Include a measure of merit for the vessel,
if needed. Cost: Free!
Step
2. The Conceptual Design Phase. - This
step determines whether the boat described
in the design statement is feasible and
how you will have to modify the stated goals in the
design statement to achieve a successful boat design.
Principal dimensions, general arrangements, major
weights items, and powering options are chosen and
concept drawings are produced. This information is often
included in a design proposal which is submitted. Cost:
$500.00 USD for all conceptual design work for vessels
under 15m.
Step
3 The Preliminary Design Phase.
- This step determines the details of exactly how
the boat will implement the results from the conceptual
design process. The hull shape is finalized and more
exact calculations are performed, including stability,
performance, and structural calculations.
Cost: A percentage of the estimated total value
of the project.
Step
4. The Detailed Design Phase.
- This step is concerned with producing the
"deliverables" of the design project: 3D
model, kitset files, CNC files, arrangement drawings,
structural drawings, construction details, and
specifications.
Cost: A percentage of the estimated total value
of the project. ( Depending on classification - between
3.5 to 6 %) |
