High Speed Pleasure Craft Design

Rob Schofield designed several very successful 50-65 knot offshore sportboats for Daemon Yachts, Cantieri Adriatica Spa. (Adriatic Shipyards) – Grupo Dreaming, Mondolfo, Italy – Overall hull design, design and analysis of propulsion components, weight estimates, and structural design for ABS Class Approval – 70 ft. and 75 ft. composite ultra high speed motoryachts, 2007 – present. Luiz deBasto Design did arrangements and styling for these two projects, and Rob did the hull design, all engineering and naval architecture functions.

Rob also designed high speed pleasure boat models for Regal Boats (222, 220 and 180 Models 1992), Switzercraft 250 SS and 31SS Models, Celebrity “Andretti” Model, and Sunsation Boats 290 Model. The Switzer 250SS Model won POWERBOAT Magazine’s 1991 “Performance Sterndrive of the Year” Award.

Rob’s hull design for the WorldCat 290 Model is the basis for four current high speed catamaran models for that company. The models are unmatched for soft ride at high speed in rough ocean wave conditions.
