I used Delftship to export the developments to a dxf file.

You have to make sure your panels are set to be developable in the layer menu, and you should also make sure that your error rate is low. Ideally, you’ll want panels that develop in one try and with a zero error rate. Running your control grid perpendicular across the panels helps.

I mean did you make the plates in Delft or CAD. Dalft only develops 3 of 4 of my strakes.

Hi
Is it possible to have the file with the developped plates who you show upside?
I can’t open the DXF developpements because I can’t save it on my computer.

Thanks

Thanks, Bryan. If you build it, let me know. I’ll be interested in seeing if the multi-chine hull retains the same charm as the rounded version.

Very cool. Thanks Bryan for making this available. The only problem is that now I have yet another boat to add to my list of boats to consider building!
Cheers,
