The design office uses state-of-the-art CAD systems to generate hull shapes and
produce working drawings and patterns. Velocity prediction programs and rating projections
are accomplished with in house programs and consultants provide CFD appendage and FEA
structural analysis. Construction
techniques and materials are rapidly evolving with the advent of composites and laminating
techniques. The firm keeps on the cutting edge of development by constantly updating
structural programs developed in house and integrating information from a strong network
of boat builders, aerospace consultants and materials suppliers.
This constant attention to developing
technologies and design tools assures each client that their project is completed
utilizing the latest techniques and materials.
There is an intangible about an Alan
Andrews designed yacht that words are incapable of describing. Ask anyone who has seen an
Andrews design, either on the race course or in an anchorage filled with other yachts, and
the invariable reaction is "That's a great looking boat.". The aesthetically
pleasing lines of any Andrews yacht are achieved with absolutely
no sacrifice in boat
speed.
