NAVAL ARCHITECTURE

Course Objective

The aim of the course is to give information about the history and development of sailing boats. The aim of this course is to teach the hull design, basic hydrodynamic and hydrostatic calculations in sailboats, and to inform about the design of sail, rigging, rudder and keel. High speed racing sailboats and multi-hull sailboats are also introduced in the course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have sufficient knowledge about sailing boat design and to be competent to provide design services.
2   To be able to produce detailed solutions required by sailing boat design.
3   To have information about current material and production technologies for sailboats.
4   To know and apply sailing boat technologies standards, norms and regulations.
5   To have knowledge about current material and production trends in sailing boat production.
