Thanks for all comments and all the likes!   This has definitely been a learning process for me, but the best way to get better is to exceed your abilities!    I just installed the wales.  The Prince de Neufchatel is starting to look like a ship!   I have also drawn out the cradle and applied the pattern to a sheet of basswood.  I traced the hull shape at bulkheads D and 7, off the body plan, to get the inside shape, then I just hand drew the outside of the cradles.
