In all of the tables in this document, both the pre-2009 NQF Level and the NQF Level is shown. In the text (purpose statements, qualification rules, etc), any references to NQF Levels are to the pre-2009 levels unless specifically stated otherwise.  

This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
This unit standard is for people who work, or intend to work, in a yacht and boat building environment where boat design and construction drawings must be read, understood and applied.

The learner will understand the complete process for bringing a boat from the two-dimensional view on paper to its final three-dimensional shape. Additionally, the learner will have practiced and accomplished this task by creating a scale half model of a hull form.

This includes:
  • Demonstrating an understanding of the terminology associated with boat design and construction.
  • Describing the materials and methods used in boat building and discuss their applications and limitations.
  • Identifying and discussing hull forms.
  • Demonstrating an understanding of the features of a lines plan and the process of its development.
  • Constructing a scale model from a lines plan. 
    		•

    LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
    Communication and Mathematical Literacy at NQF Level 1. 

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    All work is performed under supervision.

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    Hull forms are identified and explained according to their applications and limitations. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 4 
    Demonstrate an understanding of the features of a lines plan and the process of its development. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    The main features of a lines plan are explained focussing on boat design principles. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    A lines plan is drawn using standard drawing techniques. 

    SPECIFIC OUTCOME 5 
    Construct a scale model from a lines plan. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERIA     

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 1 
    An explanation is given of how to construct a scale model from a lines plan focussing on the possible errors to avoid. 

    ASSESSMENT CRITERION 2 
    A half-model is constructed according to a lines plan. 


    UNIT STANDARD ACCREDITATION AND MODERATION OPTIONS 
  • Anyone assessing a learner or moderating the assessment of a learner against this qualification must be registered as an assessor with the relevant Education, Training, Quality, Assurance (ETQA) Body, or with an ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding with the relevant ETQA.
  • Any institution offering learning that will enable the achievement of this Qualification must be accredited as a provider with the relevant Education, Training, Quality, Assurance (ETQA) Body, or with an ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding with the relevant ETQA.
  • Assessment and moderation of assessment will be overseen by the relevant Education, Training, Quality, Assurance (ETQA) Body, or by an ETQA that has a Memorandum of Understanding with the relevant ETQA, according to the ETQA`s policies and guidelines for assessment and moderation.
  • Moderation must include both internal and external moderation of assessments at exit points of the Qualification, unless ETQA policies specify otherwise. Moderation should also encompass achievement of the competence described both in individual Unit Standards as well as the integrated competence described in the Qualification.
  • Anyone wishing to be assessed against this Qualification may apply to be assessed by any assessment agency, assessor or provider institution that is accredited by the relevant ETQA. 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD ESSENTIAL EMBEDDED KNOWLEDGE 
    Names, properties and appropriate application of:
  • Boat building terminology.
  • Different materials and associated production processes.
  • Different hull forms and their relative advantages and disadvantages.
  • Lines plans.

    Consequences of:
  • Inappropriate material selection.
  • Inappropriate choice of hull form.
  • Poorly faired lines.
  • Incorrectly measured offsets.

    Procedures and techniques:
  • Drawing a lines plan.
  • Calculating a table of offsets.
  • Construction of a half scale model.
  • Measuring.

    Theoretical basis:
  • The depiction of three dimensional shapes in two dimensional drawings.
  • Concept of 'fairness' as applied to boats.

    PROVIDERS CURRENTLY ACCREDITED TO OFFER THIS UNIT STANDARD: 
    This information shows the current accreditations (i.e. those not past their accreditation end dates), and is the most complete record available to SAQA as of today. Some Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionaries have a lag in their recording systems for provider accreditation, in turn leading to a lag in notifying SAQA of all the providers that they have accredited to offer qualifications and unit standards, as well as any extensions to accreditation end dates. The relevant Primary or Delegated Quality Assurance Functionary should be notified if a record appears to be missing from here.
