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. (To be able to provide the design service required by the shipbuilding industry from conceptual approach to application details)
2   To be able to produce detailed solutions required by sailing boat design. (To be able to take responsibility and solve problems in ship design and production processes)
3   To have information about current material and production technologies for sailboats. (To be able to evaluate and develop local-regional and international potentials in terms of design, production, maintenance and operation).
4   To know and apply sailing boat technologies standards, norms and regulations. (To know and apply the standards, norms and regulations required for a human-oriented design).
5   To have knowledge about current material and production trends in sailing boat production. (To be able to carry out R&D studies and in this way have the ability to develop existing hardware and software)
