eBook #1 | SolidWorks Yacht Tutorial
Hi, my name is Jan-Willem Zuyderduyn and I’m living in the Netherlands. I am a Lead Product Designer and
founder of LearnSolidWorks.com.
Since 2009 I help SolidWorkers to improve their SolidWorks modeling skills by developing practical, step-by-step
SolidWorks tutorials. Over the last decade, I have attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors to my website. I am
the author of 9 SOLIDWORKS eBooks (50.000+ downloads) and 3 premium SolidWorks tutorial packages.
Today I want to present you the SolidWorks Yacht tutorial. In this practical tutorial package I will show
you exactly how to model the exterior of an amazing Sunseeker Predator 108 yacht in SolidWorks.
Despite the fact that it’s a sophisticated model, it doesn’t need to be too difficult with the instructions of this
tutorial. Today I will show you how to model part #1 of your yacht in SolidWorks.
In this first eBook, you will discover how to model the propeller of your yacht in SolidWorks.
Your yacht has 3 of them but I’ll show you just one. 😉
Happy modeling!
Best regards,
Jan-Willem Zuyderduyn
