design suggestion... Omega shape the primary hull with several laminated beams in the shape of the omega symbol. the bottom edge of the omega will be the two keels. build the displacement as two cylindrical bodies along the top third of the omega, one on either side along the whole length of the ship approx. 60'-80' the rib beams of the cylinders and the rib beams of the omega splined together on e either side of each other. like adding an s shaped beam support, the top of the s wraps around the cylinder rib and the bottom curve of the s wraps the bottom half of the omega. cylinder ID 10'-14' OD 12'-16' laminated beams are 6" wide and 12" thick and make continuous arc forming a spiraled rib from front to back with supports spiraling the other direction where necessary. Top deck spans both Cylindrical bodies and ties into the ribs. lower deck spans across the top of the omega and ties into the cylinders about a 1/3 of the cylinder would be lower than this deck. An A frame would be established above deck... sides can be opened or closes as deemed desirable, but built to withstand crashing waves and still keep the deck dry.
Beautiful woodwork!
Is steel a better material for arctic conditions?
I believe steel hulls are the overall best material for serious, go anywhere yachts.
