Designing a wooden boat that satisfies modern class rules is a craft of its own: you keep the traditional hull and method, and you engineer the structure to class-comparable scantlings from the outset. Done at the start, it is elegant; done after a surveyor’s visit, it is a compromise.
Lines set the character
The lines plan decides how the boat sails, sits and carries. On a traditional hull those lines carry generations of knowledge; the naval architect’s job is to respect them while making the structure provably sound.
Structure to the rules
From the lines come frame spacing, scantlings, fastening schedules and rig reinforcement, drawn to class-comparable standards where the build is intended for class. The structure is right the first time rather than patched later.
Tradition and class together
The best wooden-boat design does not choose between tradition and class — it marries them, so a hand-built phinisi carries a structure a surveyor can sign. That is the design desk’s whole purpose.
See the design service on the naval architecture page and the yacht-grade build it feeds on the phinisi yacht page.
