: but maybe I'll take a look someday. I would really like to have S&G
: stylish panel development with panel thickness taken in consideration.

It seems to me that if the panels are faired at the correct angle prior to putting them together, that the panel thickness is largely irrelevant and that only the outer dimensions matter. Only when the correct angle cannot be achieved (very sharp angles) will there be a negligible problem because due to the small angle the join will not affect other parts of the configuration anyway, just needs to be filled with putty. Ignoring that little problem, the panels can be cut using the outer dimensions regardless of panel thickness.

Your point translates into having the design program spit out the fairing angles whcih may vary along the entire panel edge. This is something I built into my own simpletech S&G kayak design. I draw the contours on the plywood on a 10x10 cm grid, also marking the fairing angles as produced by the software. In practice when working with a belt sander, the manual accuracy is limited to, say, 60 degrees (a little) and 45 degrees (a little more or anything that you can't handle) but despite this, a bit of fairing helps a lot.
