Hi
And when you find this designer and find out that now it is about
learning the intire craft,
------ Then you think you saved some time ?

Take my advise and realise that what you want is one-to-one plans,
plans that you can place strait ontop the sheets and cut from the lines
on the paper --- or you maby think it is easier to start with a scaled
set of drawings showing _none_ of the panels to cut, showing just the
tradisional sections that you can use for nothing, before you lofted
the lines ,calculated the pieces ,frames and panels you acturly need to
realy build both the model and the real thing.

It is a good idea to build a model, ----- but is there any idea to do
that if the model will not be build exactly like the real boat ? Will
you gather experience so you don't scrap a huge panel if your model is
just a "show the lines" thing , if it is not the exact scaled model
with the same frames the same panels just scaled down so you can see
where the trouble occour when building the real thing ?

Can you ask that designer to deliver one-to-one plans for panels for
frames bulkheads and ontop a waterline drawing from the 3D model ?

My advise -- if you realy mean this serious go check Cyber-Boat once
again.
