Another local designer once expressed surprise to me at how quickly the steelwork of one of my designs had been constructed from framing to completion of plating. His trained eye had not seen the difference. The choice of the radius to use is a matter of personal choice. Too small a radius keeps most of the radius below waterline when the hull is at rest and causes a slab sided look. The eye likes to see some curvature low down in the topsides from about amidships through to the stern.
Most modern yachts tend to have little, if any, curvature to the topsides near to the bow.
Radius chine construction gives straight sections in this area, with all of the radius below waterline. This can give a wet boat if there is not good flare to the hull to prevent the bow wave from coming straight up on deck. The included angle between the side and bottom panels of a single chine hull gradually reduces from bow to stern. In the bow the topsides are flared and the bottom Veed, giving a large included angle. At the stern the topsides are more vertical and the bottom is more horizontal, giving an included angle nearing 90 degrees.
