development of furniture construction drawings and details, interior lighting and comfort assessment, and is capable to work within technical requirements and weight constraints.
Marine designer is a new speciality relatively often associated with training in ‘transport design’ with bias to marine transport in some universities. The training includes naval architecture basics with a major emphasis on the aesthetical aspects of marine design.
Other specialists involved in the aesthetical aspects of development of boats and yachts are visualization artist – for
designer - responsible for decals, logos, advertisement materials, etc. and some others.
Such a complexity of roles might make the design process complicated without clear responsibility for the entire design from any of parties involved. Efficient coordination of efforts of parties involved is usually under the responsibility of design management.
2.2 DESIGN DEVELOPMENT STAGES
Below is presented the design process based on our office practice.
At pre-design study stage the concept of the craft is discussed, preliminary estimates are made and visual identity of the craft is created by making ‘napkin sketches’. At this stage the designer and customer look into customer’s preferences and intended use of the boat, expected budget, etc. and prepare a feasible statement of requirements.
The purpose of concept design is to define how the boat would look and to prove that boat design is feasible. In our practice, concept design includes exterior and interior renderings of the boat, general arrangement drawings, lines plan, weights study,
performance estimate and
stability check. Other items can be added such as preliminary list of equipment (usually originating from previous designs of similar size), material quantity estimates, etc. Concept design is important and often is a time consuming stage as it involves intensive interaction with the customer is terms of appearance and design parameters, and thorough cooperation of design team members. Concept design is the one used by the customer to get preliminary quotations from builders.
Technical design is targeted at finalizing design decisions and integrating different parts of the design; it covers engineering
of structures, detailed interior

plumbing and electrical
systems, selection of equipment, detailed calculations of weights, stability assessment, performance, etc. General arrangement is being refined. At this stage the interior design is also produced including
renderings, furniture drawings, room plans and interior materials/equipment specifications.
