Old family boat comes back to life.

Some decades ago, my father build this boat without any drawing. He shaped it along the way and had a few examples in the harbor to get his ideas. he sold it many years ago.
He is 70 years old now and I thought is was a nice idea to draw it in 3D so that I can make a beautifull 3D print of it to surprise him. I started today, and made it from a few pictures.

It's a different way of thinking when you want to draw a printmodel compared to a 1-1 buildmodel in sheet metal.
Therefore I decided to make a surfacemodel, and from there I will make two drawings. One to build this boat, and one to print this boat in 1-20 scale.

It's a typical dutch boat, not too fancy when it comes to calculations.

What do you guys think of this?

 

I like it.

 

The hull appears to be very fair, and could be ready to be used to cut a full size mold.

How much experience do you have with boat design? What software did you use?

 

I use Rhino and I'm not a boat designer. I have been following lots of youtube videos and I can ask for help at work. I work for a famous dutch yachtbuilder.

Every now and then I draw a model just for fun. I joined this forum to learn more about designing hulls.

At this point I can create cuttings files from a model and have also created a few small and simple 5m aluminium boats that were build by collegues.
