This is a few computer rendered images from the final CAD design model. Over all the design process took 8 years of calendar time and maybe 4 man years of working time. The design was restarted from scratch 9 times, so the current version is the 10th. The first 5 versions were mostly design studies, while version 6 was taken all the way to manufacturing drawings.
Version 7 was a complete redesign for lighter displacement (from 16 to 12.8 tons). Version 8 was mostly redoing the functional layout, and version 9 was what I then believed was the final version. Version 10 again became a complete redesign when the decision was made to go for the radical hull proposed by Gabriel Heyman. This decision moved the mast and keel about 2 meters aft, which completely changed all structural and layout parameters.
