Some modeling content Making half-hulls. Kinda backwards, working from a finished design to a half-hull. In the old days this was the way hulls were designed. Peg the layers (lifts) together and carve the hull. Then take the hull back apart and trace the waterlines.

The learning curve on Deflt Ship seems pretty steep. It can do amazing things, but . . . The tutorials presented on this forum help a lot, but it is still a very narrow application. I use an inexpensive general purpose CAD program - Design CAD 3D. And have used it for over 40 years now - since the DOS days. Good stuff Maynard. I do the fairing "by hand", same way it's done on the lofting room floor. But accuracy can be much better than the old standard 1/8 inch. An advantage is that the hull can be sliced up any way you want to make patterns for frames, stringers, diagonals, etc. Just a standard drafting package with 3D modeling. Catalina 27 Triton 30
