This was a recurring request I received from Gene-Hull Dinghy users : why not a multi chines version of Gene-Hull Dinghy ?
Well, multi chines hull in the general case with multi developable panels was and still be a bit complex (for me at least), but I was able to focus and develop an application for a simplified case which, I hope, could be attractive enough and helpful for an amateur builder aiming a dinghy easy construction with stich and glue (or equivalent method ) ply panels.
So here attached the « Gene-Hull Dinghy Chines 3.1 » spreadsheet application, based on a simplified hull geometry made of 5 developable panels, including :
By hoping this can be helpful for your small boat projects.

- a flat bottom panel
- 2 inclined chine panels
- 2 vertical (or quasi) topside panels
- a plumb bow with a forefoot at water level (for the design displacement)
