26ft V-Shape Planing Hull Motoryacht Design

Client: Netherlands - Private Marine Entrepreneur

2025

The concept and preliminary design of an 26ft V-shape planing hull motorboat is developed with a focus on performance, efficiency, and balance.

Hull geometry is refined through fairing and optimization, while general arrangement, layout, and equipment plans are prepared to ensure ergonomic use and structural harmony.

Hydrostatics and stability analyses are performed in compliance with ISO small craft standards and ABYC guidelines, achieving optimal deadrise, chine height, and bow entry for smooth handling and stability at speed.
