I do'nt know how to make a nice design for a hull with complex curves.
The hull is made with a succession of rectangles with various chamfers
You can see just the max what I can do.

Jef,
You made some nice drawings. If you want rounded corners try using filet instead of chamfer. For a complex convex curve I've found that using "Loft with guide curve," works best. This can be done by drawing out each rib and connecting the outside upper corner using spline on the top plane. Now select loft and use the above mentioned splines for the guide curves and pick out atleast four ribs. Click OK and it does wanders.
I'm not sure if your version works that way though.
None the less your drawings are still very nice.
