INTRODUCTION:
Sunseeker Yachts' legacy began in the 1970s on the British south coast in Poole, England. Formally known as Poole Power Boats, Sunseeker was founded by Robert and John Braithwaite.
Yacht is a Watercraft used for pleasure or sports. The term originates from the Dutch word yacht (which means "hunt'), and originally referenced light, fast sailing vessels that the Dutch Republic navy used to pursue pirates and other transgressors around and into the shallow waters of the Low Countries. The yacht was popularized by Charles II of England as a pleasure or recreation vessel following his restoration in 1660.
Today's yachts are almost exclusively for leisure A yacht is any sail or power vessel used for pleasure, cruising, or racing. The word often connotes luxury; however, luxury is not a quality necessary to meet the definition, nor is it always desirable. Many racing yachts are stripped out vessels with a minimum of accommodations to lower weight. The term 'sailboat' or 'sail yacht' is used in America to differentiate from a powerboat' or 'power yacht' As of December 2018, there were about 6,500 yachts over 24m on the market.
Design methodology flow chart
Design Process
The entire modelling process is divided in to Six Stages
- Blue Print Setup & Creating Planes.
- Modelling of Hull Part
- Modelling of Super Structure
- Modelling of Radar Mast
- Modelling of front, middle & Rear Seats.
- Assembling the individual parts.
Description
Blueprint
Blueprint is basically a design plan or technical drawings of different orthographic views of a product. The main motto of the blueprint is to bring out the exact same shape and form of the product as designed by a designer. It also the accuracy and the proportion of the product. Designing a product without a blueprint may lead to multiple errors, unnatural proportions and improper dimensions. A proper blueprint setup omits all those problems. To set up a blueprint, we use sketch mode in SOLIDWORKS in each plane. In this case, the images provided for the front view, side view, top view, back view, and top views are added in respective planes. One very important thing to note while setting up a blueprint is the size of it. all the parts are going to be designed laying up the blueprint and taking its reference, it is very crucial to maintain the correct and real size of the blueprint in the very first step. It can either be adjusted manually with the dimensions or by adjusting the scale bar.

o Concentric
o Angle Limit

Assembly right side view
Assembly back view
Assembly isometric view
Camera view
Steps to be followed for Assembly
- All Designed Parts to be inserted one by one as per requirement.
- Apply Mate Conditions with respective parts for give exact location in Assembly.
- In this assembly Only Rear seat, Radar and Propellers are located using coincident and Concentric relations with respective Parts. Other Parts are already fixed (Using Surfaces as references) so no need of giving separate mate conditions.
Methodology.
- Import-Import assembly once created a new project.
- Appearance - Give appropriate appearances to various parts to make more attractive after rendering.
- Scenes - Use Proper BackPlates/Environment as scenes and drag the assembly at proper location.Decals:
- Graphics or designs used
- Lights & cameras-To adjust lighting and set camera
- Output - Once done with all setup, A quick render helps you out to review final output. Changes the colours by increasing/decreasing various values for better look (if required). Then go for final quality rendering
