Through Build Support

 

Since the beginning Laurent  Giles  has  been  associated  with  large  sailing  yacht  designs. Over  the  years  we  have  developed  a  unique  understanding  of  the  design  of  sailing  vessels,  yachts  and  motor  sailors. 

Large  sailing  vessel  design  requires  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  science  of  aero-dynamics  and  behaviour  under  sail. Laurent  Giles  is  one  of  the  few  naval  architects  with  the  experience  and  understanding  required.

Our  experience  is  backed  by  modern  performance  prediction  software  (VPP),  in-house  tank  testing  and  free  running  model  trials.
