So, what about the design to come? Will it be traditional as Burger, more curvy as the new Hatteras or a style of their own? Personally I like the style of 112´Britannia built by Broward in 1990, but just for fun I have adjusted one of my designs from last year as another, more avant-garde style. What do the Broward fans think and wish about the future design? Feel free to share ideas and opinions here...
THAT... should be the new Broward! I'm impressed... this design has subtle hints at Broward's lineage, while offering a completely modern and updated look. The full length hull windows could create an instant "signature" for them as well. If you have GA's... I would be happy to forward them.
THIS... was the fastest reply I have ever seen... Thanks Carl, I have a GA on a 105´in "my" thread, but this could fit with most of the Broward GA:s with a raised wheelhouse. The windows are glued to the structure, same as with cars today and with a slight mirror effect you will not realize that there are partitions behind.
This is exactly what I removed from the other design... The reason was that the whole thing became a little too edgy, now the lines are more sweeping I think... Compare here; http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6493&postcount=75
Whoops... you're right. That's exactly what the original design looked like. Your newest design for the Broward looks better. Broward's have historically used Bimini tops. Maybe this tradition should be continued...
... i think the new browards should look classic...most new boats today dont even look like boats, they look like spaceships
Yes Garry, There are many clashes in this patchwork.. Actually the classic sheerline doesn´t fit very well with all the straight lines. Here is another attempt with a more straight sheerline and the flybridge following...
Hi Lars You have drawn a powderhorn sheer which on the right boat is stunning but maybe a true classic sheer would work well. Personally I do not like straight sheers. It is after all the most proment curve on a yacht, which should not resemble a shoe box. I will have another look tomorrow after I have gotten over my hang over. ( my team made it to the grand final tonight )
Yes well the bow came out a little higher than intended, but I was thinking of a couple of inches of curvature with the maximum curve about the same point as the original.
The original "Lars design" is a masterpiece. Fresh lines and color but at the same time it looks like a "Broward".
Most any vector graphic program can be used for styling a yacht. Much more specialized programs (some very expensive) exist for handling the technical aspects of the hull design.
