Services - marine design

Coupland Bell Ltd. provides marine design consultancy for specific engineering problems. We don’t do purely aesthetic design, but we like to make our marine designs elegant. We use 3D CAD modelling, finite element analysis and other software tools as required.

These are some of the marine design services we can provide.

Composite structures

Our consultants produce marine designs in composites, including GRP, Kevlar, Carbon Fibre and sandwich structures.

Marine propeller design

Our consultants provide novel propeller designs, including predicting the thrust, loads, stresses and life. We have designed folding propellers and super-cavitating propellers as well as conventional ones.

Boat hull design

Our consultants design boat hull structures for light weight, strength, impact resistance, fuel economy and more unusual features.  We design for CE Marking (Recreational Craft Directive), MCA regulations and ISO12215.
