Superyacht Consultancy
Report
A comprehensive, detailed and carefully prepared specification is essential for ensuring that a vessel can be built, repaired or modified to meet the requirements of the Client.
All too often, lack of professional advice at this stage leads to omissions or errors in the specification, resulting in costly variations during build.
Modern Superyachts are increasingly complex, and as complexity increases, so do the chances of important details being omitted from the Specification, resulting in increased costs later in the project.

Original Concepts
Report
David M. Cannell & Associates have long history of combining our detailed knowledge of vessel operations and requirements with our technical expertise and creativity to find original solutions, and develop these into working designs.
Examples of this include the 'Fast Round Chine Vessel' hull form used for many of our fast commercial vessel designs, and the Daughter Vessel launch and recovery system used on a number of our Patrol and Coastguard vessels.
These vessels are designed to bridge the gap between fully planing and displacement vessels, combining many of the best characteristics of both types.
