I suggest the following texts:

Ship Structural Analysis and Design by Owen Hughes and Jeom Kee Paik

Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Strength of Ships and Ocean Structures

by Alaa Mansour and Don Liu, Edited by J. Randolph Paulling

Both are published by the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, USA

Thanks.

For all Owen Clarke Design projects, the common denominator is performance, regardless of whether the yacht is a cruising or racing design. Our designs always prove to be fast. This is partly due to the tools that we have available to us, the way in which we use them and our partnerships with some of the world’s leading engineers, designers and marine technology consultants.

As professional engineers and designers we offer our skills, experience and use of the tools at our disposal to individuals, yacht designers, boat-builders and other agencies as well as applying their use to our own designs. OCD have recruited qualified naval architects in recent years in order to expand this area of our business. We have continued to invest time and resources in the application of analytical methods such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite element analysis (FE) to fluid and structural engineering problems, expanding the use of these tools through our range of designs as the software and services have become more cost effective.

The starting point of any new design is to develop a set of hull lines which define the geometry of the boat. We’ve been using Maxsurf, the world’s leading yacht design software since drawing the lines of our first racing boat, the 35’ trimaran Fiery Cross, in 1987. Since then the product has also been developed for use in the design of commercial craft and ships. It remains however the most utilised yacht design software for designers the world over.
