I thought I was a pretty good draftsman.
At least until I tried lofting hull shapes...
Buildings, machine parts, entire aircraft - no problems.
But fairing a hull can be a humbling experience.
Well, for grins and giggles, here are a few of my efforts so far.

Well Richard,
This is no surprise to a third generation boat builder.
The pictures look pretty good.
It that first one your design?
I don't like working with a baseline other than zero draft because I
always get screwed up doing the TPI, trim and stability calculations.
It does get a little easier when working on the lofting floor at full
scale. The you can go back and correct the offset table.

It's (supposed to be) a Catalina 27.
Gee, I though it looked real familiar.
