A bit of reverse engineering

As a bit of fun I created a 3d model of Providence's hull from the lines published in book The Little Ships of Dunkirk.

Published Lines Drawing

The program I used was DELFTship which will also compute the various design coefficients which adds a bit of interest to the whole project.

Line Drawing produced in DELFTship.
 The lines drawing wascreated in an early version of the program that did not allow diagonals at anything other than 45 degrees hence these are a bit meaningless as far as fairing goes.

What a babe!


And a basic version in AutoCAD

I created AutoCAD "as built" drawings however my computer gave up the ghost and I did not have backups. There is still a slight chance of recovery however.
