CADing interior

CAD in most cases when I work on the boat means Cardboard Aided Design.

In this case, however, I wanted to visualise the key components in the new interior.

The idea is to divide the main cabin into separate areas, giving some sense of privacy on this tiny interior.

It should also enable installing permanent kitchenette which we’ve found is a must during sailings longer than few days.

The front of the boat, forpik, will now be closed, forming a private space where - most probably - my small daughter could sleep while we still stay awake in the main part.

I wanted this to be visually pleasing so I tried simulating the layout in Solidworks.

To add some flavour to it I was experimenting with different shapes for openings, to have airy but functional layout.
