The latest video we've added to our YouTube channel is about some work we did for a team of Naval Architects. Approached by a client to transform a 1950's US Navy tug in to stylish pleasure yacht, the team required an accurate model of the existing hull as a starting point. During a very chilly day in late November, the vessel was loaded on to Parkol Engineering's floating drydock in Whitby, Norh Yorkshire and lifted out of the water. A quick wash to clean the worst of the detritus from the hull and we were able to get in to the dock an perform a series of scans, using the Faro LS880, capturing the hull and superstructure before the vessel was refloated. The scan data was then used to model the hull shape and supply both 2D lines and a 3D IGES hull model, which we used as the basis to design a hull section that faired in with minimum disruption to the existing hull.
