3D Hull Shapes

Here's an experimental shape I quickly designed. Draft/Keel is White, Above water is green:

Length: 103 Feet
Beam: 8.2 Feet
Draft/Keel: 5.8 Feet

Anyone?

I don't really know too much about hydrodynamics etc. The first one looks like it could be a nice sturdy pleasure craft. Not sure about the second. Are those exaggerated bilge keels or something? I might want to see some tests in the swimming pool before I board that ship :p

Here's a new model.

The "Coastal Cruiser"

Length: 23 Feet
Beam: 9.8 Feet
Draft/Keel: 2.5 Feet

Notes: Designed for slow speed, low sea-state, coastal trips. The keel shape allows for stable, fast speeds. The small flattened area at the stern keeps lateral drift to a minimum. Not for use in open ocean.

New model: "Colombian Riverboat"

Length: 16 Feet
Beam: 3.7 Feet
Draft: <1 Feet

Notes: A flatbottomed, very shallow draft riverboat. The keel only extends 3/4's of a foot into the water, allowing very shallow river travel deep into a mainland. Not for use in open ocean.

I'm now in the process of making a large, seagoing type. I only wish I could put superstructues on them. That would make them perfect.
