It is an interesting and challenging career choice. I would suggest over the next few years aquire as many books, magazines and join as many forums as possible. Then when the chance comes along go and work on the types of yachts you want to design. So that when you start producing designs for construction you will have a full and in depth understanding of what you are designing.

Most of the truely great yacht designers worked on yachts as crew or in boatyards before they became designers.
