: Hi, My comments down there: I'm not talking about longitudal appearance of
: chines, but in height direction.

I completely understand that - and sort to thought that to be and understood/given that water doesn't like going around a corner - so really wasn't going into that. I agree and don't think it applies necessarily to Henk's design as his are below from what I see. Problem I see is that the same thing you note at waterline with and exposed chine also goes on below if the water has to go around any edges, as it does in Henk's design.

: I think you are looking it a bit wrong - when the kayak side is practically
: straight it doesn't matter where the chine panels meet the bottom ones.

Not so much where, but how, and at what angle relative to the flow.

: Forgot the panel corners and look the shape. From a quick look, I don't
: see major shape difference with Henk's implementation or yours.

That really depends where you slice it and what cross sections you look at. Closely spaced buttock lines should show the problematic edges. Slices done top to bottom (at say 1" increments from waterplane down) would also be useful here.

It would be interesting to have a model to slice up (I'd need it in a standard CAD format I could import into SolidWorks as I have not learned FreeShip yet). In a few minutes I could likely either say "yeah, it's no big deal" or "this illustrates the problem clearly".

Keeping it more simple - I still think the difficulty of replicating that form in SOF or Strip is telling.
