International design and construction conference

An international technical conference on yacht design and construction is scheduled for next September in Southampton.

The conference, timed to coincide with the Southampton Boat Show, is titled The Modern Yacht and will give naval architects, engineers, designers and researchers the opportunity to present papers on the current state of yacht and power craft technology.

Organised by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the University of Southampton, the conference will focus on both power and sailing yachts.

With evolving rating and class rules allowing ever more exotic materials and advanced construction techniques, the organisers say the need for testing and performance prediction has never been greater.
