Design Contest
Westport
Shipyard shortens customer delivery times by 75 percent
CONCORD, Mass.,
March 5, 2007 – A 164-foot yacht. A giant Ferris wheel. A watch with
four faces. These are just some of the arresting innovations that captured judges’
and spectators’ imaginations in the 10th annual SolidWorks Design Contest.
Eleven winners took home more than US$150,000
in prizes and were spotlighted at the SolidWorks World 2007 International User
Conference and Exposition earlier this month in New Orleans.
The grand prize, a Dell Precision™ 390
Workstation and 20-inch monitor, went to Jack Sanford, an application engineer
at Westport Shipyard, for a model of the Westport 164 Tri-Deck Motoryacht. The
boat sleeps 12 and features a formal dining room, VIP suite, salon, commercial-grade
galley, garage for water toys, and a wet bar.
