Gardner,
Maybe I missed it, but why do you have the notch in the leeward hull? I would thing from a structural and simplicity standpoint, it may be better to eave the top level and add a sideways-sliding hatch. Don't remember why you chose not to use an Easy Rig - the sheeting loads and coordination requirements will be greater. Perhaps the lower CoE was the reason?
Also, the beams look a bit willowy. I suspect a larger cross section would provide greater stiffness and a weight reduction.

Google Sketchup is free, it runs on Macs and PCs and it integrates with google earth, so once you are done with your model, you can put it in various spots on the earth. When I am done, I want to put it at my dock (it won't fit, but maybe I will make a sketchup model of changes I need to the dock).
Ok, I uploaded the sketchup files for both the liveaboard and the camper, in their respective directories.There are LOTs of videos on how to use the features of sketchup on youtube, so it make it really easy to learn.- Gardner
