    Hi All,

    Just seeing if anyone has a Defltship model they can share?

    I am hoping to view and learn from a model that has developable plates so I can model my own hulls in the future.

    If anyone could upload something that works it would be a great learning resource.

    Hello,
    Have you tried the planing hull that is a choice under 'new project'?

    Yes, I have tried that option.

    Only issue is that the surfaces there are not developable.

    I was hoping someone could post a model that can be flattened out.

    No, all my boats I refer to are not my property, they belong to the clients.
    You have to learn how the program works yourself. There is no shortcut.

    Thanks for the response JS,

    How much would it cost to buy a model from you?

    How much do you think you can pay to do an initial calculation of total weight, load capacity, interior space, power requirement, g-number..... and a rough line drawing.

    Boat design is much more than a push button game.

    I would only be after a basic planning hull model with developable surfaces so I can review/modify it.

    So keel sheets, chine sheets, side sheets and transom sheets.

    What would that cost?

    No serious designer would do such a job. That would be irresponsible.

    It's only use is to be a learning model.

    Its not going to be used as an actual boat.

    I am curious to learn more about developable hulls and this would be the easiest way to see what kind of shapes are possible.

    Why would any "real designers" turn down a very basic paying job?

    First of all, you would not learn from a copying excercise. Second, there is a risk that the novice will produce a no-good or even dangerous something and pretend it came from a well-known origin.

    It takes time and devoted work to gain a positive professional reputation in any engineering field, including boat design and building. I suggest that you google "developable surface" for a start. In addition, there are a number of useful threads on the subject in this forum, including an article by Christopher Barry.

    That done, you may take a look at the shape of the series 62 hull model, which has been thoroughly tried and tested by a number of institutions. Its shape is truly developable.
