The curves not so good

When I examined the curves of the boat as I began assembling it, I realized something was amiss. The front curved inward far too tightly. When I drew the lines on paper I realized I had done it so tightly the side would have been concave!

So real designers use battens to create their dimensions. Below is me doing so. In order to get a decent-looking curve that's still thin enough for the fore-hull to nest in the aft-hull, I shortened the fore-hull by 6 inches, bring the total length of the fore-hull to 5' and the overall boat length to 12' 6".

I then took distances from the centerline along its length and adjusted my drawings.
