Default Re: Solid hull poll
I use the bread and butter method of solid hull construction. More often than not, I make my lifts vis a vis the waterlines, then plot the offsets from the hull section templates. Rarely I make up the hull based on the buttock lines. I have found this advantageous when the model has a pronounced eliptical stern as with the liner Aquitania. I also use the bread and butter core method in which the waterline lifts are hollowed out. John Harding
