BOAT DESIGN PROCESS BOAT STYLING TRENDS Concept (3D images, preliminary drawings of general arrangement, lines plan, preliminary calculations and specification) А) How does the boat look? В) Is it feasible? С) Information required for cost estimates Technical design detailed engineering drawings and calculations required for construction and certification Classic trend gives preference to traditional shapes and solutions of the past 30 50 years; these could be boats built to old designs (including socalled replicas ) or new designs that use classic elements. Workshop drawings used for construction, cutting files and detailed drawings Contemporary style trend is associated with innovative features and search of new solutions in exterior by the designer/stylist. The features of this trend often are streamlined sporty or modern minimalist shapes. Prototyping, supervision, testing BOAT STYLING TRENDS ARCHITECTURAL TYPES Practical trend gives preference to functional features.
