New York - 27th & 28th October 2008
This year Boat International will add to its activities by hosting a design symposium that will be held in New York in the exclusive Upper East Side district at The Harold Pratt House on the 27th and 28th October, just before the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Our aim is to provide you with two days of lively presentation and debate under the title of Designing the Impossible that will offer a range of up-to-the-minute topics that will not only be of interest to all delegates, but will also provide the opportunity to positively influence future projects.
The symposium is aimed at owners, potential owners, designers, naval architects, project managers and captains involved in new build projects. Our speakers are not there to sell you anything, just pass on the valuable lessons they have learned through their experience of successfully managing complex and ground breaking new build projects. This symposium is designed to help you save time and money and reduce the risks associated with high cost or high technology custom builds.
Subjects under discussion will include:
- Minimising Risk in Advanced Technology Projects
- The Introduction of High Efficiency into Superyacht Construction
- Achieving Yacht Quality for Large Yacht Projects in Commercial or Self-Established Shipyards
- Building Perfection - Achieving High Reliability from Launch
- The Ultimate Charter Yacht - Building Profit into the Equation
- The Global Industry - Managing a Worldwide Project Team
- Minimising the Environmental Impact of Large Yachts
- The Construction of Large Composite Structures
- Building the Perfect World Explorer - Power and Sail
In addition, there will be ample opportunity for networking and a high quality social occasion of the type for which Boat International is renowned.
