Adding more parametric detailing to the platform. Interior structure to follow. It is really nice to visualize the sails CoE in real time while trimming the sails. Helps understanding better where to place the Central dagger. Looks like it is going to be relatively far forwards.

Last weeks I've been working hard trying to develop a complete parametric model of the platform, well at least as complete as possible. This enables the exploration of minute changes of design in an instant, the entire model updates and there is no need to trim, loft, etc etc etc again and again.
Notable design changes - a solid rear deck. lightweight enough, but adding a lot more comfort to the platform, the entire rear deck can be enclosed by a convertible canopy. The rear deck adds a lot of functionality for little weight. More to come.
