The Preliminary Design of a Volvo Open 70’.

Abstract

I have followed the last Volvo Ocean Race during the first year of my study; I had a great interest to discover the rule that governed that great example of yacht design but I was only starting to get my first ideas on yacht design. With the oncoming of the new rule I have had a great opportunity to bring forward this design study and produce the preliminary design of a Volvo Open 70’
