The fine frigate which serves as the featured image for this article is called the Stately Gunwale. That’s not a name I, the boat’s creator, gave it. It’s a name ShipShaper’s demo automatically assigned my vessel when I picked the set of colours I wished it to be painted. Quite frankly, I doubt I could have dreamed up a more fitting moniker for my deliberate attempt to fling something funky onto the high seas.


What a fantastic concept! It’s great to see a boat builder offering a demo for creating such unique designs. The Stately Gunwale looks impressive and really showcases the creativity possible with ShipShaper. Looking forward to seeing more from this project!
