Parametric modeling

I have developed a parametric model of the hull in Grasshopper, this allows me to do changes to the hull on the fly, saving significant modelling time. The hull will undergo some significant changes, but the basic concept remains. I decided the hull is just too fast, will add a bit of fat to it to lower the LWL/BWL ratio. Maybe a tiny bit of extra rocker just for some extra displacement, nice to be able to shove more stuff on the boat. Changes to the inside and partitioning - going even more spartan, aside from BH's, and bunk floor there will not be much inside, this reduces build time significantly. The deck layout will be revised to allow a double bunk to be used in each hull, in a smart fashion hopefully. Simplify , simplify, simplify...
Aside from the parametric model, I'm considering running some Michlet/Godzilla optimization, although i believe the hull lines are very fast still, nice thing about Michlet is that it can tell you the optimal hull separation for a given set of constraints.
