    Hey Richard, would be a great challenge designing a boat huh. My brother is really interested in boat design and we've had conversations about designing stuff. hope to one day!

    Hi Josh, I have an idea for you. Why don't we join forces on this one. I have plenty of ideas on this but not much expertise yet with SolidWorks. I wanted to build digitally a model boat just to see if I could do it using SolidWorks. I am pretty sure now that after seeing those boats you posted that it can be done. I saw recently a post on a nice looking cabin cruiser and also a 100 foot yacht. Let me know my friend and I will try working out some ideas. I'm still learning basic things with SolidWorks. I'm kind of behind here but I'm retired and still learning different things. SolidWorks is the very best retirement tool I have in my arsenal. Bye for now.

    I'd be REALLY surprised if they designed the hulls in SolidWorks. We design and build boats here, and we've tried for years to use SW for the actual hull design. It is possible, but the fairing tools are just not there. I read the press release repeatedly, and there is wiggle room in the verbage- they may have done the structural work, lots of attachments, FEA (probably not on the composites!), etc, but I doubt the hull itself...

    I read similar article also named Yachts designed with SolidWorks | SolidSmack - SolidWorks 3D CAD Technology Design Blog, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
