Thanks guys.

I've attached a screen capture of the section I am attempting to loft. I've now tried it full hull length right round the stern using both loose and normal. It is really close using either option. It would be a really smooth hull! Also, a one piece surface would make trimming and then extruding the "plates" a doddle. The networked version created extrusions with internal surfaces that I had to hunt down and delete.

And that's one of the great things about this software. Even if there is no way to achieve this I am impressed that you give consideration to ideas from your user base. Doesn't happen much in the software world.
