Naval Architecture
Naval architecture is the quiet engineering beneath every beautiful yacht: hull lines, stability, structure, weight, systems and compliance. Brineglass keeps this discipline in-house, so our designs are proven feasible from the very first sketch.
We deliver complete engineering packages for new builds — and independent technical review for owners buying or refitting elsewhere.
What is included
Hull design
Hull lines developed and tank-tested in software for efficiency, comfort and seakeeping in real conditions.
Stability & tonnage
Intact and damage stability, tonnage studies and freeboard — documented for flag and class approval.
Structure
Steel, aluminium or composite scantlings engineered with the yard for strength without excess weight.
Propulsion & systems
Conventional, hybrid and fully electric drive studies with fuel, range and noise predictions.
Class & flag
Drawing approval, surveys and certification support with all major classification societies.
How we work
Requirements
Speed, range, draft limits and cruising grounds fixed into a technical brief.
Hull & analysis
Lines, CFD studies and weight estimates iterated until performance is proven.
Class package
Full calculation and drawing sets submitted for class and flag approval.
Build & trials
Inclining experiments, inspections and sea-trial attendance through delivery.
Engineered projects
Questions
Can you engineer another designer's concept?
Yes — we provide standalone naval architecture for third-party styling, including feasibility checks before you commit to a yard.
Which construction materials do you cover?
Steel, aluminium, composite and wood-epoxy. Each material gets its own structural approach and yard strategy.
Do you handle hybrid and electric propulsion?
Yes. We model drive options against your real cruising profile so efficiency claims are honest, not brochure figures.
Will you attend sea trials?
Every full engineering commission includes inclining, inspections and sea-trial attendance through final delivery.
