The History of the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology
- By Jay Coyle

Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology
Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology celebrated its 80th anniversary recently, and yachting enthusiasts of all stripes owe the design school a tip of the hat. If you are a boat owner, there’s a good chance that a Westlawn graduate had something to do with your boat’s design. The list of alumni reads like a who’s who of yacht design. Graduates of this home study course have played a major role in shaping the sport, and some very dedicated designers have played an important role in shaping Westlawn.
Boat designers Gerald Taylor White and E.S. Nelson dreamed of a correspondence school that could serve those who shared their passion for small-craft design. They founded Westlawn in 1930, naming it after White’s Montville, New Jersey, farm. At the time, the U.S. population of recreational boating enthusiasts was estimated at 1.5 million and growing. Inspired by Henry Ford, boatbuilders had begun standardizing production, so the creation of a school to standardize design practices and train designers was timely. By 1968 the population of recreational boaters had surged to 8.4 million, and hundreds of Westlawn graduates and enlightened students were serving the industry.
While there are many outstanding examples of students who made good, 80-year-old Dave Martin’s 55-year career as a yacht designer is one of the more compelling. Growing up on the Jersey shore in Atlantic City, Martin loved boats and managed to land a job on the planking crew at the Egg Harbor Boat Co. fresh out of high school. “I walked my dog back and forth in front of Russell Post’s [a company partner in Egg Harbor] house until I cornered him one morning and begged him for a job,” Martin said. Martin arrived for work and was given a broom, but he eventually wound up on the planking crew. “A fella called Peckerhead Armour was in charge, and I figured I should know at least as much as Peckerhead did about boat design and construction,” Martin said. After seeing ads for Westlawn in the back of Yachting he signed up for the course in June 1948.
Martin moved from Egg Harbor to Pacemaker Yachts and then quit work to devote all his effort to completing his Westlawn studies. “I locked myself in my bedroom and worked full time until I ran out of money,” Martin said. With half the course under his belt, Martin felt confident enough to apply for a job at Sparkman & Stephens in New York. “I was interviewed by a human resources guy retired from the phone company — he didn’t know a damn thing about boat design,” Martin said. “Things got a bit loud and Gil Wyland [S&S’s chief engineer] came out of his office to see what was going on.” Wyland looked at Martin’s work and hired him as an ink tracer. “I was working at Sparkman & Stephens and my old boss was driving boats — Capt. Peckerhead,” Martin said with a chuckle.
After replenishing his bank account, Martin took a leave of absence and completed Westlawn in March 1953. He returned to Sparkman & Stephens as a draftsman and began moonlighting on the side — a practice Olin Stephens frowned on, Martin admits. “Several of my peers managed to design an oil tanker on the side, and Olin was pretty sore — I was only working on a 30-footer!” Martin was paid $750 for the design, and he quickly calculated that given 10 commissions a year he could make more money as a designer than as a draftsman. Martin returned to South Jersey and hung up his shingle. “I figured it was far enough away from S&S that I wouldn’t be tempted to give up and go back,” he said, laughing. Over the last five decades Martin has built an impressive portfolio of custom designs, both power and sail, and penned production designs for Egg Harbor, Pacemaker, Ocean Yachts and others. Martin’s secret to success is a love for his work and boating. He’s still designing boats and enjoys sailing aboard a 28-foot catboat he designed in 1980.
Over the years Westlawn has persistently tweaked its program in an effort to keep pace with new technology. The school was purchased by the National Association of Engine and Boat Manufacturers (NAEBM) in 1968 and led by designer Jules Fleder. At the time the school taught only design in wood. Designer and alum Bruce King had to get special permission to do a fiberglass vessel for his final exam. Textbooks on fiberglass and aluminum construction were added to the syllabus, and the course went through a major upgrade under the leadership of alum Norman Nudelman. A textbook on multihull design written by alumnus Bob Harris was added, as was a new volume on sailboat design by alum John Ammerman and Halsey Herreshoff.
Westlawn is now owned by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) and is headquartered at The Boat School in Eastport, Maine. Alum Dave Gerr is currently at the helm. Gerr finished Westlawn while serving as a naval architect at MacLear & Harris. He established his own firm in 1983 and has penned a number of books and a broad portfolio of designs. Under Gerr’s leadership Westlawn has been further refined with the addition of a technical reference manual written by Gerr and a text on yacht interiors by Lisa Hix. Gerr said the Internet has enhanced the program as well. “Thanks to the virtual office the Web allows, we have been able to assemble a great team of instructors and advisors,” Gerr said. “On the other end, students typically have more immediate access.”
Westlawn’s full program, Yacht and Boat Design, includes four modules: introduction to small-craft design, intermediate boat and yacht design, construction methods and systems, and equipment. Study materials include 34 textbooks that cover a wide range of subjects including hydrostatics, stability, performance, hull forms (power and sail), systems and construction methods. To graduate, students pass 38 lessons including a final thesis with two complete boat designs. A condensed version of the program, Elements of Technical Boat Design, was developed specifically for captains, surveyors, marine writers and others who need or want a basic working knowledge of boat design. Should those who complete the basic course want to pursue the full program, they receive credit for their studies and investment.
Westlawn serves both those interested in yacht design and those who want to focus on commercial small-craft design. There are few accredited schools that offer programs in either. Students have 12 months to complete a module and can make arrangements for extra time if necessary. Lessons that are not graded 75 percent or above are returned marked “preliminary,” and students can resubmit them until they pass. Westlawn averages about 28 graduates annually, and it typically takes a student four to five years to complete the full course. While 80 percent of those who start it never finish, Gerr points out that this number is misleading. “Many students get far enough along to find a job or design a boat and simply never bother finishing.”
Like Dave Martin, I was drawn to Westlawn by an ad in Yachting and managed to graduate in 1980. Since I had drooled over Martin’s book Naval Architect’s Notebook , he was on my short list when I circulated my resume. Like Martin, I too had suffered humiliation at Sparkman & Stephens when, during my interview, it was discovered I was more a stinkpotter than a windblown Corinthian. I found a warmer reception elsewhere, and I still have Martin’s kind letter of encouragement. Although he had no openings at the time, Westlawn alums Jack Hargrave and Tom Fexas did. I signed on with Fexas for five years before hanging up my own shingle in 1986.
I owe Westlawn a tip of the hat for teaching me how to make a buck doing what I love — and Martin feels the same way. “I knew Jerry White personally, and he really cared about helping young folks,” Martin said. “He not only taught them boat design, he taught them how to get a job! That’s something they don’t teach in college.” Happy anniversary!

  Professional BoatBuilder MagazineWestlawn students chime in. By Dan Spurr , Apr 5, 2019  Prominent Alumni like Dave Martin helped Westlawn earn a solid reputation in the yacht design community. In the December/January issue, No. 176, we invited Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology students past and present to share their experiences with and opinions about the 89-year-old distance-learning school specializing in boat design—this after the sale of the school by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) to David Smyth, in 2015. Problem was, in recent decades at least, it lost money and required subsidy, first by NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) and then by ABYC, which eventually lost patience with the school’s inability to be self-sustaining. Since the transfer, some noticeable changes to the school caught our notice, to wit: an end to RINA accreditation, disappearance of The Masthead newsletter, and apparent lack of visible activity on the part of the administration and the sole remaining instructor. We asked Smyth what was going on and reported the challenges he cited, specifically the high cost of upgrading “learning systems,” low graduation rates, and never having received financial records from ABYC. Next, we asked the students. Here’s a summary of what they told us: Student critique- A student in Europe was three-quarters through the program but had to give up his dream of becoming a boat designer because tuition was raised too high. Westlawn claims to have educated more boat designers than any other institution in the world (which could very well be true), and many are from outside the U.S. With personal income in some of these countries much lower than here, the tuition increase makes it especially difficult to continue. Smyth points to the old installment payment plans as contributing to low graduation rates.
- Course materials and the student guide need updating. So does the school’s web presence, which is, in the words of a current student, “laughable.” It is true that many of the materials have changed little over the years, and while past director Dave Gerr rewrote and added to the printed coursework, the task is formidable. Who, if anyone now, is capable of taking on this job?
- “Little useful guidance” especially in terms of software and hardware, wrote one student. Dave Gerr is “sorely missed by the remaining student body,” wrote another current student. The Forum has suffered as a result of his absence. While lone instructor Mark Bowditch received generally high marks, it seems clear that students want more designer chat time.
- A recipient of a certificate for completing Elements of Yacht Design says he “couldn’t be happier.” David Smyth, he wrote, is “a great guy” who has helped him expand his “cognitive database.”
- “David Smyth cannot do this alone,” wrote another Westlawn graduate. “NMMA and ABYC should still support the school. How can an industry survive without qualified naval architects?”
- A number of respondents, including Tom MacNaughton, who runs the Yacht Design School in Eastport, Maine, offered to assist Smyth and Westlawn.
- “Mark Bowditch is an awesome instructor,” wrote a student, adding, “He knows how the industry does things now vs. when some of the textbooks were written.”
- The lack of CAD and computer modeling instruction is seen as a major shortcoming of the school. A Southampton graduate who saw our call for comments suggested offering DELFTship software, which he said is free for its basic modules, adding that Rhino modeling software is available significantly discounted for students. All well and good, but again, who is going to teach how to use them?
- “We are not having any problems continuing to operate,” wrote David Smyth. “Our enrollment is 250% of what it was when we took over. We get new enrollments steadily, and the rate of progress of our students is substantially higher than it once was. I am only frustrated by the rate we can improve the school. Our plan for raising money is purely for capital investment into the school. There is no need for fund raising or capital for any operations. There is absolutely zero chance of Westlawn going away.”
Distance learning focused on designThe uniqueness of Westlawn has always been twofold: distance learning, so that anyone in the world could enroll; and narrow focus on only boat design. Other brick-and-mortar institutions offer degrees in naval architecture, and a few worldwide have loosened their emphasis on ship study, notably Southampton’s three-year program in the U.K. The Landing School in Arundel, Maine, offers a two-semester program in yacht design, but residency is required, and if one finds Westlawn’s tuition prohibitive, he or she will find little relief at either of these well-regarded schools. The bottom line appears to be this: Westlawn is apparently here for the long term, and its traditional offering is of good quality; that’s the good news. But to stay abreast of developments in a rapidly changing world, and to meet consumer expectations in an increasingly digital world where service is measured almost instantly after every purchase, Westlawn has work to do.

I'm in with a good job so is my only option. I'm not doing this as a change in career but more of an interest that I want to pursue to learn. That being said, since I'm going to spend the , I want it to be worthwhile, credible and educational.
I've read both websites and each seems to have their own pro's and con's which seem very obvious on the surface.
Westlawn is accredited by the distance education council and seems very professional. Macnaughton seems more nurturing and offers pay as you go lessons.
There are other differences which I won't get in to, but I was wondering whether anyone here can add some of their own experiences.
Thanks! | | | | | 22-01-2008, 05:08 | | Boat: (Cruiser Living On Dirt)

Westlawn has produced some of the most successful designers in the industry, and more practicing small-craft designers than most of the other institutions in the world combined.

architecture and yacht design were fomr different systems, it was about the only serious in town. I had been in the mass-properties support staff in the aero-space industry, and had a pretty good basis for comparisons in rigor between Westlawn and industry
Im sure the advent of (we used slide-rules; no calculators then yet either) and CAD-CAM will have overtaken the use of planimeters and the like that we used, but I still have mine along with a drawer full of manual drafting tools which I drag out occasionally for smallish projects
Have no idea what the modern Westlawn looks like or whether it might suit you, but their reputation is solid in the extreme and well worth a second glance

Tom ran Ted Brewers design courses for awhile, when he worked for him and started his own design school when Ted's courses became unavailable (I can't remember why they stopped but I'm sure that Tom would fill you in on the details if you asked him).

Some guidance, please...Question about Westlawn School of Yacht Design.Discussion in ' Education ' started by Keycube , Jan 22, 2003 .  Keycube Junior MemberHi folks; New to the site, and a 20 year casual observor of sailing... A little bit about myself; I've been a draftsman since my first job out of High School, covering about every discipline imaginable from electrical drafting - to mechanical - to civil/structural - but I've always had a desire to "create". To impose some aesthetic "will" into my work. I've watched the America's Cup since '83 with an utter fascination that I can't explain. I pick up sailing periodicals from time, and study the jargon and idiosyncracies of this "black art". I love the technical aspects of automobile racing, and sailboats strike me as this perfect compromise between technology and art; for all the wind tunnels in the world that help to craft a F1 car, there still seems to be this Holy Grail of hydrodynamic efficiency that is still yet to be breached. I have never been sailing (though I plan to this summer), am not a strong swimmer, and even have a bit of fear of water; I think that is part of the allure of sailing to me - there's a certain mysteriousness to it...its attempt to harness nature, and second guess its unpredictability, all the while being at its whim. I ordered a Westlawn brochure about 15 years ago...didn't think it was practical, couldn't afford it, yada yada yada...but I've never forgotten about it. In fact, I just downloaded another brochure... I'm 33 now, and I'd hate to let an inner passion of mine come and go without ever knowing if it truly was a calling of sorts. And so, some advice...is Westlawn the way to find out if sailing (or, more specifically - yacht design) is for me? Thanks for any help. Robert Polarity Senior MemberHi Robert Welcome first of all! If you go to the search button on the top right hand menu, and search for "Westlawn" you will see there is a mine of information, mostly from the education forum. PS A lot of the best sailors can't swim...!  Jeff Moderator< Thread Moved to the Education Forum > Welcome to the forums Robert, As Paul says, we have a number of great people around the forums here who are currently in the Westlawn course or have graduated from Westlawn. Here are some previous threads about Westlawn from the forum search . I think Westlawn could be a good way to find out if yacht design is for you. Many many people get a 4 year or even a Masters degree and then decide to do something else for a career not directly related to their degree. Since you obviously have an interest in yacht design, I don't think what you learn from the Westlawn course would be wasted no matter what. I suppose it depends on the value of money and how you like to pick things up. To be more cost conscious (since you can't do the Westlawn course incrementally and it costs more than the YDS for example) you could also spend some time sailing and try and experience as many types of sailing as possible, then spend some time on your own reading all the text and yacht design books you can get your hands on. Concurrently you could spend some time sketching some concept boats and post them on the web on sites and forums like this one for feedback. That way you’ll know for sure whether it’s what you want to do and you’ll get a better sense of the qualifications you’ll need to get to do the type of design work you want. But with all that said, the Westlawn course is probably a good way to do the same, and at the end wind up with a degree. It will also be interesting if more universities follow the lead of MIT: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2270648.stm http://ocw.mit.edu/ http://ocw.mit.edu/13/13.021/f01/index.html putting more of their course materials online, free for everyone to view.  yipster designerJeff, very good initiative, thank YOU, MIT, BBC. http://oe.mit.edu/ is one more place you can find me, but oe-argh, that isnt easy math! y Guest GuestWESTLAWN I too had been looking at Westlawn for years and finally decided to make the leap a few months ago (I got a little encouragement when I found out that the education program through work would pay the tuition because of their accrditation). The course is taken and paid for in 4 chunks, each lasting from 6 months to a year depending on the amount of time you have to spend. I also looked at YDS and while the course cost was less (and payments were more incremental) you are required to purchase significantly more material outside. Also, I felt that Westlawn would be more structured (more likely to keep my part time studies on track). I am having a great time so far. I do concur with an earlier post to do some homework first. Collect some of the beginning design books and spend the time to see if it will hold your interest more than a month or two. Good Luck Steve samar New MemberNeed some help please hello, im looking for boat design school in europe and cant choose one so, if you could give me few suggestions i would be grateful cause i really want to attend one and wa wondering if i really have to be exellent in mathematics.please mind my english cause im french educated.

A full time school was out of the question. I have 13 years in the U.S. Coast Guard and leaving is not an option. I've known about Westlawn for many years because of their advertisements in major magazines, and name recognition was a factor. Also, the fact that Westlawn is associated with the ABYC (American Boat & Yacht Council) also helped ...

For artists, writers, gamemasters, musicians, programmers, philosophers and scientists alike!

But with all that said, the Westlawn course is probably a good way to do the same, and at the end wind up with a degree. Jeff, Jan 23, 2003. #3.
