Got some material to make a model, might take a little while (busy at work) but I will be back, with photos this time.
@Will Gilmore Yes, that is an intentional side affect of my uncertainty with using Delftship. I placed the original stations in line with the...
@bajansailor I have had a play with the next chine up as suggested. I was dubious because the lines looked good (to my inexperienced eye) but...
I did make a cardboard half hull, but it was somewhat lesser quality than a third graders school project :) The cardboard was too thin and the...
@bajansailor Here is the lines reworked as suggested. According to Delftship the stress is a little higher, but only marginally. I'm not entirely...
@bajansailor Thanks for the feedback, I will work with that. You're thinking keeping the same curvature of the stem, and moving the chine lower...
Here are the lines with an allowance for a 2 inch stem/backbone. I simply moved all the centreline points out by an inch. This appears to have...
@Will Gilmore I will try adding the width of the stem into the equation next
Sorry about the delays, life keeps interveining and making me do things, like my job :) @wet feet Yes, I did try lowering the bottom chine at...
Had a go at setting a plumb bow, I like how it looks but according to the Delftship figures the stress on the play is way worse, like four times...

Here is the line drawings with the lowest point moved further aft. I have also added a skeg, probably the largest possible for the moment, but...
I was also watching, a few years back, the growth in popularity of Nowark Island Sharpie (NIS) by Bruce Kirby, and although it has always been a...
I guess the next thing is to work out what type of wood to make it out of, so I can calculate weight of the boat and the rig
Once again, thanks for all the great info and help, will review the layout again this week. A couple of points. no, it won't be a planing hull...
