Vicem Yachts Meet DLBA
DLBA Naval Architects is always ready to look beyond the horizon, and Turkey is well beyond what we can see from the coast of Virginia. There, on the Turkish coast, is Vicem Yachts, a new DLBA partner.
Collaboration with Silver Ships: 40ft. Buoy Tender
DLBA is excited to be working with Silver Ships, Inc. on a 40ft Buoy Tender for US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Two, and maybe three, buoy tenders of this design will be operated the Pittsburgh District of the USACE.
WEBINAR RECORDING > High-Speed Craft Design with CFD: Is it worth it?
Earlier this year DLBA unveiled a 58-meter, artificial intelligence-powered superyacht concept, TEMPO. Now DLBA is expanding on the improved safety, efficiency, and reliability the superyacht industry can expect from AI in an upcoming webinar which the team invites you to join.

Planing in Extreme Conditions
When you think about high speed craft, like the two projects SeaForce 410 CC and the CFD simulations for Scout Boats, one question that should flash through the designer’s mind is: “Will she become airborne?” This is an important question to know the answer to as it significantly increases structural loading on the hull structure and other components.
The Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
DLBA is continuing to support the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in their effort to modernize the ocean engineering laboratory in Norris Hall. Over the last year, we have been working with the customer to develop a concept that meets their performance objectives.
CFD simulations for Scout Boats
Since the founding of DLBA, we have always said that the design of high-speed boats requires the combination of rigorous science and a little bit of art.
Sea Force CC 410 under development
Charging into the new year, the DLBA and Sea Force teams are continuing to develop the new SeaForce 410 – the first in a new line which is changing the paradigm for what is possible with outboard powered boats.
Planing Hull Feasibility Model
Our team has the pleasure of supporting many clients in the definition phase of their projects. In these early on, low maturity efforts, we have discovered the need to be able to produce relatively accurate design/product information in a short amount of time with little known information.
Velocity 38m
New on the drawings boards at DLBA for 2021 is the 38M semi-displacement yacht, VELOCITY. This 125-foot raised pilot house yacht is coined VELOCITY, not for her speed, but for her ease of use. This concept has evolved out of the old axiom “Keep It Simple Stupid (K.I.S.S.)” and is an attempt at lowering the barriers to entry into yacht ownership.
