Preliminary Design of Boats and Ships
by
Cyrus Hamlin
Mr. Hamlin is a very knowledgeable gentleman and it shows in this truly excellent work. We use this as a text in our Yacht Design School degree program in yacht and small craft naval architecture because it is a good solid foundation in preliminary design work. It is equally useful to yachtsman with a desire to understand the basics of naval architecture. It is a very good first book on design. It would be difficult to find much to criticize here. Even a long time professional designer will probably pick up some useful information he or she hasnt come across before. (tm) $34.95 |
