| COASTALUS - MAJOR REFIT AND OVERHAUL OF A MEGA-YACHT |
-
-
 The
Planning Stage - For this high
end mega-yacht visual appearance is just as important as structural
integrity, safety at sea, and functionality.
-
- In order to show the visual impact of changes that would
occur to the vessel we would need an accurate model developed, however, the new owner did not have the original
CAD files.
-
  After arriving at the Kennedy Shipyard
the entire vessel was photographed and detailed measurements
were taken. As you can see in these photos below the stowage
lockers consume quite a bit of space on the lounge deck and block
the view astern. These cabinets, along with the folding "T"
mast are to be removed in addition to replacing every exterior
window, overhauling the engines, changing the entire propulsion
system, and a complete refairing and repainting job. While Kennedy
took on drydocking the vessel and beginning the hard work of
removing the old equipment, Watson Enterprises began developing
the 3D model in preparation for planning the new arrangements
and radar arch.
|
-
| With
the vessel modeled in CAD level 3D
we can now show how the radar arch will look along with a new
cockpit design. Concepts were sent at the rate of two or three
ideas per day to the owners agent. |

-
-
-
-
| With the
owners approval now in hand these images, along with the AutoCAD
drawings, were sent to the naval architect to be further refined
for structural integrity and dimensional fitting in their own
programs. Any major changes they suggest can be brought back
through the original drawings and imaged out for the client to
review if necessary. |
