I think it would tend to work better than SNOT for wider, more rounded hulls; SNOT works well for narrow and pointy designs with a flattening curve, but gets very 'stepped' if you try to widen the hull too much without adding a *lot* of (...)

I'd be interested to see Dan's ideas for big flared hulls though... (...) (22 years ago, 10-Mar-03, to lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | | (...) True. I've experimented with very wide (32 stud) SNOT hulls (both for a modern tanker and a 19th century ship), but traditional SNOT just can't do it well.
