The question in the last post was where do we go from here. Well we go back to here and using the grid we constructed in the last post showing the profile and plan we add our new midsection. We can use the pram bow from RMS and we can take RMS's transom and round it to give us this.

You'll notice that I'm using the technique we discussed here to transfer the basic dimensions.

So now what?

Well we can transfer the sheer to the sections by using the same technique giving us this,

If we connect up all the intersections and the end of the midsection and bow transom correctly we have the sheer from bow to stern on the sections drawing like this.

You'll notice a couple of oddities, for one we don't have a section to the right of the centreline and there are extra green lines.

Lets deal with the green lines first, they are water lines, the LWL is the lowest one. I will explain their use in the forthcoming posts.

The missing section is section 6 and it's not there because we have no idea of the shape but we'll use what we do have to determine that shape as we develop the new round bottom boat.
