In the spring of 2013, I started to write a book called, 'How to Design a Boat using SketchUp 3D Software'. The subject matter was my design, 'Kalostyn'.

After preparing a file of over 500 screenshots, I realised that, for the purpose of showing a beginner how to design a boat in SketchUp, the content of this design was too much.

In May 2013, I re-visited the idea. Instead of a book, I'd write an article, hoping that Chuck Leinweber would publish it on his Duckworks Magazine website, and I'd keep the design very simple so that I could describe the whole design process as succinctly as possible.

So I worked up a design for a 12', shallow 'V' planing boat. The idea was to keep the design simple, but to include all of the essential 'how to's' like the creation of lines in 3D space, intersecting planes to form templates and how to form and flatten the hull panels.

I was rather pleased with the resulting design, so I decided to work it up to a set of plans. A little fine tuning was needed to one or two lines and, as usual, I ended up redrawing her to be more to my liking.

Here she is. 'Kastri 12', a simple 12' runabout, for short shaft outboard motors of 5 to 15 hp.
