: Are you writing about John Winter's KAPER or about FREEship?

I used Kaper from within FreeShip.

: Change the points to make them parallel if that's what you desire. It's
: really up to you. Change the color scheme. It's customizable. Or switch to
: DelftShip, which looks better IMHO.

The surfaces method applied to parallel cross sections yields more regular looking curves but not quite parallel and also they don't get you the longitudinal interpolation that one should expect (because it interpolates in the breadth direction not the length). To brag about my own stuff, I interpolate in the length direction with explicit knowledge of corners entered by the user, and it is all based on parallel cross sections which is the most natural way of looking at a kayak. It uses line interpolations, not surface interpolations which are an order of magnitude more complicated.

: This is a broad generalization that you're making. I'll let someone else
: tackle this if they want.

Yep but I suspect that the SOFers are not reading this thread so the fallout will be minimal.

: You can definately get speed with a Greenlandish look. Keep up the
: experiments. It seems like you're having fun.

Yes computer design definitely opens up a lot of of avenues that you can investigate before actually building the whole thing.

Thanks for the feedback and keep us posted on your stripper,

Henk
