The University Master program in Yacht Design,
organized by the Design Faculty of the Politecnico
di Milano in collaboration with the University of
Genoa and POLI.design has been set up to meet
an intense demand for training in the recreational
boat sector, which requires professionals with a
post-graduate specialization.
is well-established in the Italian context and
benefits so much from international appreciation
that the competences in design, organization and
project management are now directed towards
those geographical areas which are being more
interested in growth and development factors
from an industrial and market point of view.
AIMS
The program provides the tools required to handle
the process of designing and building sailing and
motor craft.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The Master in Yacht design is intended for
graduates in Architecture, Engineering, Industrial
Design and Economics, or anyone holding a
university degree in a related discipline.
The maximum number of students admitted to
the Master is 30.
THE SAILING SECTOR
The sailing sector shows a strong professional
vocation both on necessary competences for
designing leisure boats and on capacities for
managing the various phases of production
planning.
MARKET
Looking at the past 5 years data analysis on
pleasure craft market trends, it can be observed
that there was a contraction in product and sales
volume that affected Italian craft market.
However the mega-yacht sector, which is a sector
where Italian shipbuilding preserves an important
role at international level, is demonstrating of still
holding strong.
Another emerging factor is that design culture

GOALS
This master’s degree program provides the skills
needed to manage the design and construction
process of a sailboat or a motoryacht.
DURATION
The master has an overall duration of 826 hours
divided in frontal lesson and internship, which will
allow students to reach a total of 60 university
training credits.
The internship has a duration of aproximately 3
months.
The Master is scheduled to start in March,
following the authorization from University.
TEACHING PROGRAM
A boat, whether sailing or motor, is a complex
product which integrates different systems
ranging from that of propulsion to living
accommodation, and other accessory functions.
Every decision that touches on the technical
setup (keel, fins, internal volume, motorization,
plant engineering) affects all the other systems.
A boat may be produced in series or as a one-off,
using different technology and different materials.
Interiors are influenced by trends and language,
market competition tends to endow every product
with a certain degree of innovation.
The organization of the Master program takes
this complexity into account and alternates class
teaching – nine training modules from different
disciplines – with design activities and visits to
shipyards and companies within the sector, as
well as institutes of applied research.
The principles of each discipline are given,
together with the tools necessary for the practical
application in the design activities of what has
been learnt. The various skills and competences
of the course participants will be integrated in the
work groups, which will be required to develop a
series of work-projects.
DIDACTIC UNITS
The training course is organized in 9 Didactic
Units, plus a final workshop and an internship:
1. Yacht Design
2. Design and visual representation
3. Nautical architecture
4. Shipbuilding
5. Onboard fittings and propulsion apparatus
6. Interior furnishings
7. Component and accessory design
8. Environment engineering
9. Empowerment
PRATICAL WORK
A particularly important characteristic of the
Master program is the integration of different
didactic modes: meta-design analysis; concept
definition; practical design activity in small groups
carried out in class. The workshops enable skills
acquired in the didactic units, class activities and
external visits to be put into practice in
a complete project and are considered a
fundamental part of the training course. Visits
to research structures, production sites and
professional firms also form part of the didactic
activities.
Didactic activities in class are supported by the
various occasions for putting in practice what
students have learnt in theory.
An example can be seen in:
- the long list of company visits to manufacturing
3
MYD - Master in Yacht Design
plants of naval sector and related businesses
organized each year;
- the practice exercises of physical modelling
to support design activities and to integrate 3D
modelling.
- the practice exercises of small watercrafts
contruction applying the most recent techniques
of industrial production;
- the opportunities for practising the study of
group dinamics through experiences held on
board.
SAILING CRUISE TEAMBUILDING
Teambuilding on board of a sailing cruise, allows
student to live a new and engaging experience,
taking subjects presented in class outside from
the usual study environment.
The educational metodology activates a direct
process of personal and group growth amplified
by the need of “survival” on board.
Boating with classmates, allows students to learn
the construction and management mechanism of
a team, moreover it allows to acquire the skills
needed to understand working dynamics of a
working group.
Self-perception becomes immediate in conjunction
with themes such as trust, collaboration and
effective communication. There are individual
modalities aiming to create relationships and
functional modalities apt to create support
relations and trust to create professional and
personal efficient relations.
It is about living teambuilding dynamics facing
concrete problems that need to be solved in
group with the aim of reaching a common goal, of
structuring an effective team work, creating a fast
and clear communication net and to understand
which is the real power of action of a group that
can reach goals of growing complexities only
when it is cohesive and integrates resources and
competences.
Following the sailing cruise, students will attend
guided reflection and rationalization moments
about the experience and will transfer what
learned to the working reality.
PROFESSIONAL OUTLETS
Students who complete the program will be ready
to cover professional roles that differ from those
for which they were prepared by their previous
training. Roles covered in recent years by
graduates from the Master include: design
assistant in professional firms, shipyard
production assistant, production manager, quality
control manager.
INTERNSHIP
The internship is compulsory, lasts three months
and takes place in top design studios and
shipyards.
