Help Designing A Boat.

Sorry if it sounds a bit newbie, but we are supposed to make a wind-driven boat project ( mianly using Magnus effect), more info Here.

Now I'm okay with buoyancy, floating and Magnus effect principles, but what I need help with is the designing of the boat itself as I have no experience in it whatsoever (tried searching online but didn't get much results).

So if anyone can help me with sources about boats and designing them, I would really appreciate it.

All wind driven mechanisms will be accepted, This includes:

o driving the ship by a propeller driven by a windmill,

o driving the ship by Magnus effect,etc.

How can I use the wind in other ways than Magnus effect ? what steps should I take in designing the boat ?

any tips would be appreciated, like if make the boat in general thinner it should be faster but with less stability ? what aspects affect the design of the front of the hull (bow?) ?

Thanks in advance.
