      Thanks marked001.

      I've been a little under the weather, so I've just been doing easy renders. Can't focus on the hard stuff right now.

      The weather swings in my region are making me... groggy? We are seeing 40F swings in very short periods.

          Excellent progress πŸ‘ πŸ‘

          Side note…. I get the feel bads from the weather swings also. It’s been jumping around pretty bad lately here in north Texas

            Yeah, it's too much for me.

            Anyway, roughing in the lower central deck hull. Next step will be to rough-in the aft deck.

              Roughing in the aft deck. I will be taking some liberties with the aft deck as I do not have very good references of it.

                    I had to rebuild all of the middle cabin deck. The end points did line up with the hull contact points on the first build. Why, I have no idea. But it is all tight and correct now.

                    I also had the lower deck profile wrong. Now fixed as well.

                    I have a better handle on the aft deck as well.

                    The windows on the front were not easy, even with tools on surface. It took me several hours figuring out how to get the curve to line up with the side windows.

                    This is proving as challenging as the Nadesico. Still going faster, though. Much fiddling and cursing, but going faster. πŸ˜†

                      Experimenting with the aft deck cover. It's close but not right.

                        Close enough. Lots of Curviloft and Tools On Surface and Joint Push Pull. ...and fiddling and cursing

                        JPP mangled some of the inside geometry, but I'm going with it as you can't really see it on the underside of the roof except as slightly thick lines and not at all if I turns lines off. I'll do better on the next one.

                          I was watching a travel documentry the other day and I saw a craft that looked very familiar to me. It was the craft you are building. A beutifull craft indeed πŸ‘

                            I'm still not quite satisfied with with the aft deck cover and thinking about the geometry tells me it really is not right yet.

                              Here we go. Far better and the geometry agrees as well.

                                Checking the form with lines temporarily off and shadows on and background set to context.

                                    Agreed. Do you still have the face for the profiles in the hulls? I found deleting them can clean up the hull forms considerably. I like, a lot. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                                      Yes, the profiles of still there. I have not committed to exploding the Curviloft objects yet. The last post was to confirm to me that the shape was good before I commit. Because once exploded, there is no going back.

                                      It will most likely be the very last thing I do. I still need to add add many other parts.

                                        Roughing in the aft deck. Push/Pull and line Move. Joint Push/Pull on sides sweeps.

                                          Roughing in mast and boom and captain's chair. Simple captains' chair from the warehouse, slightly modified.

                                          I had to explode and merge the upper deck Curviloft sections. So that part is committed at this point. Still kept as half-side component.

                                            This is a fun thread Bryan, it makes me remember when my parents and I built a 48' log x 25' wide trimaran in 1968. I worked every evening after school and the weekends and we got her built in record time, just over a year! Such a fine boat and we sailed her all over. Had a round the world trip all planed which never happened. My parent got divorced in the mid '70s, and sold the boat!

                                            these are the only pics I have of it, wish I had taken some of the building phase.

                                            the last pic is me at the helm, with my salty dog Wolf!
