Dive deeper into naval architecture with Maxsurf! In this course, you’ll learn how to design a vessel from scratch using Maxsurf Modeler—no Lines Plan required—applying advanced modeling techniques and core naval engineering concepts. You’ll master detailed hydrostatic analyses in Maxsurf Stability and understand how to configure input data, assess damage scenarios, and interpret key stability results. Then, using Maxsurf VPP, you’ll evaluate the performance of sailing yachts under various conditions. With hands-on projects, you’ll confidently simulate, analyze, and validate your results.

Master how to model vessels of any type and length with Maxsurf and learn many Naval Architecture and Yacht design concepts along the way! In this course, the instructor will guide you through the process of modeling two vessels using the Maxsurf modeler: a sharp-bilge Pilot Boat and a Sailing Boat with a round bilge. By the end of the course, you will not only know how to model hulls from a linesplan, but you will also have learned how to model details such as appendages, propeller tunnels, bulwarks, cabins, skegs, forecastle decks, and more, how to use modeling techniques and most of the modeling commands, and how to interpret the results obtained and validate your models.
