This course introduces the traditional method of lofting the lines of a boat from a small-scale 3D model. Lofting is the process of creating correlated “fair” lines in 2D to develop full-scale XYZ hull shape in preparation for building a boat. You will actively participate in lofting a unique boat design using traditional methods under the guidance of professional designer and master shipwright Harold A. Burnham of Essex, Massachusetts. A behind the scenes tour of the amazing Hart Nautical design collections is included in the course.
