Beach Cruiser - Reloaded

The Beach Cruiser sketch from last March has progressed into a 3D model - my first 3D project in a long while - a good vehicle for relearning the ropes. To recap, Beach Cruiser is intended to be a multihull version of the popular "open boat" style of camping cruiser. Over the years, small cats have become somewhat the victims of their own success - evolving into pure race boats. It's a bit of a shame really, considering their roots come from the ocean crossing voyaging canoes of the Polynesians. Why not a beach cat "voyaging canoe"? A small trailer boat that maintains (much) of the performance of its race bred cousins, but with considerably more storage, comfort and seaworthiness. A boat for really going places... quickly!
