Case Study: Winch Design achieves bespoke, award-winning superyacht designs with Autodesk AutoCAD

Luxurious yacht designs set sail with AutoCAD

Winch Design, a bespoke yacht studio founded by Andrew and Jane Winch, must translate unique client wishes into highly detailed, built-from-scratch superyachts where every inch matters. To meet those demands and coordinate work across shipyards, contractors and outfitters, Winch Design relies on Autodesk AutoCAD as its core design tool.

Autodesk supplied AutoCAD as an end-to-end solution, used from quick 2D concept sketches to millimetre‑accurate detailing and design‑intent drawings that all stakeholders can use. That workflow enabled projects like the 85 m Areti—with nine cabins, an onboard bike workshop and a multi‑sensory spa—to be iterated rapidly, accurately documented and successfully realized, while streamlining collaboration across the entire build process.
