Hull design and stability analyses of a jet ski boat attachment / Che Na'im Najmi Che Ramli

The final year project involved the designing and stability analysis of the boat's hull. The major aim of completing the project is to identify the problem faced by people nowadays when attempting to have a recreational activity related to water activities that requires transportation. This project requires the remodeling of existing hull design while considering factors such as vessel size, cargo capacity, and anticipated operational requirements. The objective of this project is to design a suitable hull design that suits the purpose of helping people to have a recreational activity and to analysis the stability of the designed boat. The stability of the boat is crucial as the safety of people should be the first factor of consideration in boat designing. The method used throughout this project in designing 3D models are by using CAD softwares such as Maxsurf, Solidworks, Rhino and others. The stability analysis was done by going through various calculation programs which would then give the most crucial data that can be used to examine the stability of the boat. This analysis involves calculating various stability parameters, including metacentric height, righting arm curve, and stability curves. The hull form used in this project is catamaran as the breadth of catamaran hull is wider and can generally accommodate more people as the spaces increases. The findings in this project shows that the attachment can operates as the stability of the attachment met the minimum requirement of the standard by analyzing the data obtained from the softwares. Improvement can be made to the boat by doing more research in the center of gravity of the boat and the center of buoyancy of the boat. In overall, the objective of the project is achieved as the boat designed is completed and the analysis done to the design indicates that the attachment is stable.
