Thanks Paul,
Those curves will be tough to laminate but doable with care, I will be taking my cues from the canoe building crowd. Still, there are serious structural considerations to be delt with.
Yes, she was still a victorian era sub and those masts are part of the charm and the 14hp diesel can deal with the drag quite nicely at snorkel depth!

Nice exterior design Joe! I like the early 20th century look. And those masts are good for stringing wireless aerials. :-) These ambient designs with compound curves gives a pretty sophisticated looking hull.
