Summary: Yacht Designing and Planning : For Yachtsmen, Students, and
Comment: Yacht Designing and Planning : For Yachtsmen, Students, and Amateurs is a well organized guide to yacht design for the amateur designer. It begins with the covering of tools for drafting and progresses from there. It covers conceptual design , line drawing, construction plans, sail plan and includes a table of references for woods, metals, and formulas for yacht calculations.

Howard Chapelle has done a wonderful job explaining and giving general guidelines for laying out a yacht on paper. It is suggested reading by most Yacht design schools and considering the wealth of information offered one does not have to ask why.

There is only one draw back, all formulas are for the US measurements. For those of us who prefer to use the metric system instead of the US, no conversion is offered. A slight draw back since more modern books will provide updated theories and Metric formulas on hull design. This book helps you understand what the more advanced books are talking about.

Comment: Well well well... let's see, this book has done so many things for me. It is like an advisor, telling me what to do and what not to do. It tought me how to design my first yacht. It sold so well that I now own a rather large corperation, N.J.F. Yachts. N.J.F. Yachts makes many different types of yachts and catamarans. Well anyway, I highly recommend this book to anyone.
