Catamaran

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.
-
Thanks ntxdave!
Thanks Mike!
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!

Nice trimaran! And you helped build it? Very cool.
-
Model’s really shaping up

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 15" laptop. Ryzen 7 with AMD Radeon co-GPU and an Nvidia RTX 3050 GPU with 4GB of GDDR 6, 16 GB RAM and 500GB SSD. It has a backlit keyboard.
It's basically an entry level Lenovo Legion without the name. Still on sale for around $800 in some places. Other brands have competitive models in this category of specs and price.
Works like a champ.

Thanks tuna!

Very neat work. Makes me want to have a sailboat again and be in a warmer place. The water is too hard for sailing a boat and not thick enough yet for an iceboat.
-
right on Bryan one's on the way so thanks for that! Looking forward to using it in the field and shop!
-
Thanks Dave R!
You're welcome Joe. I had to buy a new USB-C dock to connect to my older monitors, so you might consider that as well. USB-C in to dual Display Port out. Plus extra USB ports. Alogic is who makes mine. About $80 compared to other at $100+. I think they make the same for HDMI out as well.

Aft deck block out complete. Started on some detailing.
Reworked the aft deck canopy yet one more time. I did not like the outboard windshield pillar angles. Too bug-eyed.
-
Steady progress Good show
-
Thanks tuna!
Cleaning up and beginning detailing. Pipe Along Path for wheel. The rest is just shape and then Push/Pull. The canopy support beam was Follow Me tool using a path line made by Tools On Surface. It needs some clean up where it joins the hull.
-
Some close-ups.
-
Cleaning up and adding more details. Upper cabin windows were too high. Mast swivel completed. Radar bridge created. Other details re-proportioned.
-
Roughing in the forward areas. At this point, all the main structures are built.
-
You be launching her soon matey!
Bryan, what's that forward boom? Don't think I've ever seen one on any boat.
