The wakes don't seem to diverge enough for a yacht with such a large displacment, also the water line seems perfectly linear, when the wake from the bow would produce what's know as a Kelvin wave pattern that is relative to speed of the vessel...
Great web page by someone that apparently spent alot of time looking at them and offers some useful templates for creating such effects..
The fiberglass also seems a bit to reflective and lacking any variation from the construction process.. everything has a little grunge... take a close look at the top of the Maltese Falcon, you'll see a hint of variation through out the material...
Da_elf - hehe... thought I could get a post out of you if rum was mentioned!
Kramsurfer - thanks for the pointers to that website, will try and go into a little more detail with the wake next time (time permitting).
No fibreglass on this one, only painted steel/aluminium I avoid making anything look dirty because I just know what the clients comments would be. They're always expecting to see things crisp and clean. I've even had one request (on another project) to remove the reflection of the yacht from the water because it made the water look dirty.... I'll try a very slight noise next time and see if anyone notices.
Re the heli landing 'H' - for this yacht the landing area isn't a dedicated heli pad, just a touch down area so we were asked not to put the H, but they wanted to show that a helicopter could fit.
Unfortunately we didn't have any time to add deck details for this project, had to be completed in 7 days for a presentation always the way....
Hey, 24' is not bad! My last yacht (well, ok... dinghy) was 15'!
