So I’ve already taken 3 drafting classes in high school and one in college. I’ve decided that I want to be a yacht designer. It’s still up in the air if I want to actually design the structure, or interior design. But I don’t want to be an interior decorator for homes, just yachts. I’m leaning more towards the structure thing. Where could I go to school in central Florida to become a yacht designer. I do not want to design naval boats or smaller sized boats. And does anyone know of any good grant opportunities or websites???

Because I was intrigued by your question, I did a search on “ship design schools” and got many hits. An interesting one that I looked at was boatdesign.net. They listed Art Institute of Ft Lauderdale, Florida Atlantic and Florida Inst of Tech as schools with ship design programs.
