"193.87 m / 179.00 m x 18.50 m x 5.00 m"

Are you sure about her length? That´s way too much sheer as it seems....

Maybe it was designed by Admiral Scheer?

again I will have to adjust the transom - sheer BTW describes something different. Tthe German term is "Decksprung" ie the fact that bow and stern tend to be higher than midships.

Oh, you´re right. My fault. "flare" should have been the term to use then, I guess... However, I´m sure you got my point even if you haven´t adressed it.

flare is the deck protruding over the waterline at the sides, and tumblehome is the deck being narrower than the beam at the waterline.

and I am using a clipper bow and a transom and I did say that that indeed needs to be adjusted. probably even to less that the 30 degrees I did for AK.
