这一学科教授对帆船设计有原初兴趣的学生，如何设计优质游艇。涵盖主题包括静水力学，横向稳定性，以及将设计螺旋融会到个人的工作方法中。计算机辅助设计(CAD)用以设计船体、附属物和甲板的外型，计算机辅助设计同时也是本课程的一个重要部分。本课程的最终计划是期末设计专题，在这个专题内，每个学生要设计一艘主要功能完备的游艇。

This subject teaches students, having an initial interest in sailing design, how to design good yachts. Topics covered include hydrostatics, transverse stability, and the incorporation of the design spiral into one's working methods. Computer aided design (CAD) is used to design the shapes of hulls, appendages and decks, and is an important part of this course. The capstone project in this course is the Final Design Project in which each student designs a sailing yacht, complete in all major respects.

本课程主要内容来源是L arsson 和 Eliasson 合着的《帆船设计原理》（请参阅教学大纲中的说明） 。所有讲课内容都以这本课本为依据。书中的图表都会展示在课堂上（但并没展示在网页上），这些内容包括了基础的资料和详细在课堂上深入解释其意义的过程。掌握本书的内容和完成设计专题的流程提供了本课程所需要的教育学习经验。
The central material for this subject is the content of the book Principals of Yacht Design by Larssson and Eliasson (see further description in the syllabus). All the class lectures are based on the material in this book. The figures in the book which are shown in class (but not reproduced on this site), contain the essential material and their meaning is explained in detail during the lecture sessions. Mastery of the material in the book and completing a design project provides the desired and needed education.
