It has soft chines. Woodstrip.
Since building a boat is both art and science, i've done the art part...it looks good. I just wonder if it will float.
If i can't do exact xy corrdinates then i did see i could use kayak foundry and get it pretty close by shaping a form with the program..then i could print that and overlay it over my form...repeat until they match. But i'm not sure kayak foundry can match the curves of the hull overall.
: Assuming your hull is hard-chined, I haven't tried it for myself but Freeship
: or Delftship should allow you to locate the control points of control
: edges at the exact xyz locations of the corners on your forms. You'll need
: to create the stem/stern using freeship tools to form a watertight hull,
: but once this is done hydrostatics should be available.
: Another way is to write a text file of the xyz co-ordinates of the chines at
: the form locations, then import it into freeship.
: Regards,
