If you are looking for one-to-one service for a bespoke yacht project which could range from design implementation to project management, contact David Greening Naval Architect Ltd.

Why come to David Greening Naval Architect?

I am a graduate of the Yacht & Powercraft Design BEng (Hons) degree course at Southampton Institute, this course is world renowned and many of the worlds leading designers have either attended the course or employ former graduates.

Having worked as an "in-house" designer with two of the UK's highest quality boatbuilders I have a clear idea of what is practical to build and what a craftsman can achieve.

I run leading yacht design software, whilst continuing to respect traditional drafting methods.

I can deliver a complete package, offering more flexibility and going beyond the scope of what may be considered commercially viable by large design offices.

Design brief
If you are considering building a one-off or or a production boat, please allow me to discuss your design brief.

To whet your appetite I have developed three stock designs which could either be built in strip cedar & epoxy or production built in f.r.p.

	Electra 29 – a sub 30ft Category A cruising yacht for a family of four
	Electra 37 – a fast cruising yacht suitable for IRC racing
	Electra 50 – a stylish global cruiser

I recently designed a National 12 dinghy which was built by Nigel Waller at Woolverstone in kevlar/carbon sandwich, two more boats of this design have now been completed. She was well received at the 2001 Sailboat & Windsurf Show at Alexander Palace and is achieving excellent results including winning championship races.

Fabrication Design

Often you may wish to modify your yacht, perhaps to include a wind generator pole, a communication mast for a blue water voyage or modifications to a pushpit or pulpit. A recent project involved re-keeling a sailing yacht to convert her to a motor yacht, this included a stability analysis and issuing detailed drawings to fabricators.

General Arrangements

Alternatively you may wish to change a layout, often the strength of the yacht relies on built in structure which must be considered, I can advise on this. I am also experienced in working alongside boat builders to supply GA's for individual customer requirements.
