Yacht Design Newsletter Summer 2009
08-Sep-2009
Welcome to the fourth edition of BMT Nigel Gee's yacht design newsletter.
There is nothing like a global financial crisis to focus attention on efficiency - from fundamental design and construction through to operation, the need to maximise efficiency has never been greater.
Going hand in hand with efficiency is the theme of environmental impact; the most exciting yachts being designed today are efficient designs for the environment that embrace innovation and new technology.
All of these themes feature heavily in BMT Nigel Gee’s work load, from our fundamental design and engineering philosophy as featured in our lead article on hull form optimisation, through to development of efficiency focused design concepts such as the Ostria project, our naval architects and engineers continue to challenge technology and push the boundaries.Being at the leading edge requires investment in research and development, a theme which is at the very foundations of the BMT Group and we have a number of research based projects under development which are reported in this newsletter.
