    Interesting design on the top. Very explorer-like. I would question the expanse of glass the forward on amidships in the hull. Doesn't seem very robust, a rogue wave from beamward would smash that in. Looks a very stylish contemporary design, something that can be built by any yard today...good eye.

    The second profile is of Wally 118 in origin or inspiration?

    These appear to be very large yachts? Nothing wrong with bold design. But I think these particular bold themes would work better in smaller yachts than the ones shown.

    Well done. I like her powerful lines. If the aft swimming platform is fixed, you will get slamming when waves come underneath it at anchor or underway. These platforms have to come up from deep under the waterline.

    Hi,

    If I can ask you a question, which software do you use to do this?

    PS: I really like it!

    Hi Jacob,

    I must say that i really like your design. keep it up. The only thing i'm unsure about is the downward slope of the bow. It's an interesting design feature but it's just not my style. keep at it.:)

    Good Job

    Jacob,

    19!?! Keep up the good work. Forgetting the nit picking of this and that detail, your overall proportions are excellent and thats one of the hardest things to get down. Keep working on it.

    I agree with Rich, right now, just draw and be inspired. You definitely have a good eye as well as taste. The structural and mechanics can come with you are in naval architecture (if that is what you want to do), but in the mean time, just be free and express. Good luck! :)
