New 106m Luxurious 36 Passenger Yacht
LP&A is currently working on a new build design of a 344 ft. x 64 ft. Luxury Yacht. There are many unique features planned for this design including a game room with a gyroscopic pool table, an underwater observation area, a large atrium with glass elevator, a large hangar bay, and deck storage with launching capabilities for multiple sport fishing boats. It also has two helicopter pads with an optional third pad, port and starboard waterline shell doors for recreational vessel access, and "GREEN" philosophies through-out. This new Luxurious Mega Yacht is sure to provide the "WOW" that accompanies all of Lay, Pitman and Associates’ designs.

Ship
Any large floating vessel capable of crossing open waters, as opposed to a boat, which is generally a smaller craft. In earlier times sailing vessels having three or more masts were considered to be ships; in modern times it usually refers to a vessel of more than 500 tons of displacement. Submersible ships are usually referred to as boats no matter their size.
The measurements of ships are given in terms of length, breadth, and depth. The length between perpendiculars is the distance on the summer (maximum) load waterline, from the forward side of the stem at the extreme forward part of the vessel to the after side of the rudderpost at the extreme rear, or to the centre of the rudderstock, if there is no rudderpost. The beam is measured at the widest point from side to side of the ship. The depth is measured at the middle of the length, from the top of the keel to the top of the deck beam at the side of the bulkhead deck. Draft is measured from the keel to the waterline, while freeboard is measured from the waterline to the deck edge.

Naval Architecture
The design of floating vessels involves many technologies and branches of engineering that also are found on-shore, but the effective and safe operation in a fluid environment require oversight from an unique discipline. That discipline is called marine engineering, but the term naval architecture is generally coined in the same sense.

We Know Stability
Lay, Pitman and Associates, Inc. Is your specialist when it comes to stability.
How a vessel reacts in its' water-bound environment can be a complex balancing act between the laws of physics, mother nature, and what a mariner wishes to do.
Not only does Lay, Pitman do stability for large vessels, but specializes in stability analysis for small pontoon and passenger vessels to meet the latest United States Coast Guard requirements for small vessel stability.
