Aren't all yachts female? ;-)

 

[Mrnotming]

Well perhaps, and they might design themselves, not?

There must be one.

There must be one.

Nice shallow forefoot, and reverse sheer!Those lifelines are a bit high to grab?
Nice paint job though!Easily scandalised ... sail as well!

There is Hanneke Boon who works with James Wharram

There's Juliane Hempel: http://www.hempel-design.com/

There's always been one female student every other year on the design course at Southampton, but not many.

I think Betty Sue Sherman in San Diago is a Naval Architect, but now mainly coaches.

Pretty sad really and certainly design symposiums have never been a great place to meet the ladies.

Thanks for that Tim,
Nice looking work on the site.
She seems very successful too!
I'll have a look for Hanneke Boon later on Google.This looks like an ETAP but slimmer?

Future DIL is an architect and one of her fellow female graduates specialized in marine architecture. However I don't know what happened after graduation.

Phil Bolger's widow Suzanne co-operated on several of his and did a few of her own. Not sure of her qualifications though.
Friend of mine had a long conversation with PB, just before his death, about a sail trading boat. Suzanne was in it more than PB. (not surprising, as his mental state was getting vague.

Interiors is where the creativity is.

The outsides are pretty generic.

This is a floating restaurant in San Francisco. You dine below sea -level and there are large windows.

I'm glad to give you glad tidings of joy. Dazcat (producers of great catamarans in Cornwall) have recently recruited Gabriella Loddo as a designer. Her work includes the 550 cat they are building for Broadblue. She is a Masters graduate of Polo Marconi la Spezia, the University of Genova’s specialist yacht design school.
