How large a vessel does a naval architect specializing in yacht and small craft design create?
There is no set size limit. As designs increase in size you tend to choose slightly different methods and calculation models to best suit the size vessel designed. Thus the smaller the vessels designed by the large ship specialist the more they will tend to use the techniques of the small ship specialist. The larger you get in the yacht and small commercial craft realm the more you will tend to shift to the formulas and calculation methods of the large ship specialist. We put the emphasis on the techniques most useful for yachts. For instance the propeller for even a quite large yacht will cost so little that you cannot afford to spend much time on calculating it’s ideal characteristics. After all if you don’t get it exact it will cost very little to have your local prop shop slightly alter the pitch. By way of contrast we would suppose that the propeller for a major tanker might cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In this case an enormous amount of study time and computer modeling
