A fascinating model.
I've struggled with wooden ship models in AutoCAD, which I suspect many of you know has a fairly unfriendy interface, but does have the ability to manage fairly complex splines in 3d space.
How do you create the complex curves needed with Sketchup?

I've used some plans like those showed by Hellnbak here, imported them (PDF -> Inkscalpe -> DXF-> SU) and improved the lines with Fredos Curviloft. After that, some pushpulls and moves and it was finished...

Have you used Fredo's Bezier Spline tools.

What is Inkscalp: inkscape ?
Very cool model!
A cool list of boat building program!

Just curious -
I know nothing about ship construction, but wouldn't the ribs need to be tapered to allow for proper attachment of the hull planks?
-
Yes, absolutely.
However, the ribs typically are cut and erected square and hand reshaped prior to the attachment of the planking. Very often ships were planked (or "ceiled") inside as well so they would be tapered on both sides.
