create a curve for a loft to follow instead of a straight line, i am getting the error "rails can not be tangent to profiles" each time I try.

I am trying to model a simple boat, so I created two sketches offset from each other to loft together. It works but I want the front of the loft to have a nice sweeping curve but I keep getting this error. I am still a novice, please help!

That error is correct.

Change to Surface (orange tools)

Loft the top and bottom Rails - selected as profiles.  
Patch the original profiles and the Stitch all 3 together.

Thicken by the wall thickness.

Might help….

Please share your model. You may not even need rails

Hi! There are multiple ways to create the shape. Here is one without using Loft. I did it with a Revolve, Split Body, Extrude, and Non-Uniform Scale.

Many thanks!
