Recent
Yacht Design projects include a 60-foot powerboat optimized for
day trips and short cruises. She is fast and efficient due to
her very narrow beam and light weight. With jet drives, her draft
is only 2'.
She was built by Eric Goetz Custom Boats and launched in July,
2000. Top speed is over 35 knots and she cruises at 30 knots.

A significant
Naval Architectural Service project was the computer modeling of
the hull lines for Borkumriff IV, a 50 -Meter schooner
currently under construction at Royal
Huisman Shipyard in Holland.
She
is a traditional gaff rigged design with Naval Architecture by
John G. Alden N.A.
and Gerard Dijkstra and interior styling by John Munford.
Additional
projects included computer lofting of hulls, decks, keels, and
rudder for Jim Taylor Yacht Design and others.

Technology
has played a central role in the early and ongoing success of the
office. Our firm has been involved with three major tank-testing
programs and several smaller series, testing more than fifty models
in all.
We
make extensive use of computer aided design tools including: MultiSurf,
Rhino3D, AutoCAD,
and Velocity Prediction programs from AeroHydro
and US Sailing.

Although
the office is technology focused, we recognize that new high tech
approaches are not always best. Traditional design solutions are
often both visually satisfying and very functional. The best classic
designs represent a refined distillation of decades of practical
experience and tradition.

Design has benefited from a long and ongoing working relationship
with the John G. Alden
Naval Architects office in Boston, which has been in business
since 1909.
Recent
projects related to classic Alden designs include computer lofting
of Design 390 (designed in 1929) for new construction and data
base design for an ongoing project to scan and log more than 10,000
drawings going back to 1909.
