Teachings
- Naval history and architecture
- The history of yachting and naval architecture are two inextricably linked subjects: none can truly hope to understand how to design a yacht without a previous knowledge of the history of marine navigation and the kind of technological development that ships have undergone over the years.
- Construction
- Naval construction can be divided essentially into three categories based on the construction materials used: wood, metal and composite (this term includes both traditional fiberglass construction and more advanced materials methods). The different production techniques used for each material are examined beginning with their structural analysis right through to the actual construction process.
- Yacht Fit-Out and Design
- This teaching module develops all the aspects connected to the design and fit-out of sailboats and motor boats, both for cruising and competition.
- Sailing workshop
- A workshop involving a few days sailing in the waters of Mediterranean Sea will provide a perfect idea of the pleasure of group life while sailing and the opportunity to visit wonderful locations, but has primarily been conceived as a way get a better understanding of how a yacht and its on-board equipment works.
- Structure , Masts and Sails
- This module provides an introduction to the structural design of a yacht and to the design and specifications of masts, sail surfaces and navigation manoeuvres, which represent essential parts of the design of a sailing craft. Once again lectures will be held by specialized designers and constructors.
