- What is the best way to start a custom boat design?
- Being someone involved at 98% with individuals boats, there is pattern that one must follow.
- The project has to be fun because, it is pretty expensive. So, you may as well enjoy the process for the price.
- But, it has to start from the client with a realistic approach about cost, timing and have some firm ideas about the boat itself.
- Fortunately the clientele for customs boats is in general well informed and, very likely had many yachts beforehand.
- From my side, before embarking on a new project, I definitely communicate the process by engaging the customer to consider something I have done before among the many designs in his category for a possible match. And maybe with some modifications to lower cost of design and engineering.
