PRINCIPLES OF YACHT DESIGN
by Lars Larsson and Rolf E Eliasson
An excellent book for all those interested in this subject and the most up to date one available. This third edition was released in 2007 and covers traditional yacht designing and the introduction and also the  application of modern CAD methods. While mainly yacht orientated, using as an example a 40 ft cruiser/racer throughout, this latest edition also covers high speed power boats
