How can I do this loft between two curved surfaces? None of my rails give me the right result.

I cannot get this loft to come out right. Hopefully it is clear from the screenshot what I want to achieve. I want to loft between these two curved surfaces. I've made three sketches for my attempts (Rails1, 2 and 3). One of them is a top view (Rails3), one a side view and one an attempt with 3D geometry projection from the corners that excludes the top view. They should give a good visualisation of how this loft should work. It should be a curved seamless transition between the two profiles, with no hard angles. File attached.

Thanks!

Step 1.

Ctrl b (CMD b on Mac)

Any errors?

Yes, that is pretty much perfect. The loft should also be tangent when viewed from the top, but that is something I should be able to figure out from here.

My mistake was that I selected the entire two profiles with 'Chain selection' on instead of selecting the top two sections with command (Mac). I now know I have to do every side of the loft in separate features, that is what I was missing.

Thank you so much.
