Fusion
Can you share a picture that is similar to the desired result?
Generally, when working with spline curves and surfaces, less is more.
Splines with fewer spline points, fewer profiles fewer rails all usually help to improve the surface quality.
The patch tool is entirely the wrong tool for creating a boat surface.
The tool of choice is the loft tool.

Hi thanks for the reply!
Are you suggesting to loft to a solid and then unstitch it?
Nope!
I have attached a boat model from another thread where I helped another used with his model.
Please go through the timeline step by step, edit each feature to see what was selected etc.
The shape is different, but the model might explain the overall approach.
That might work better than me trying to explain this verbally.

The problem with my design is that the boat will be made out of plywood strips that can’t be double curved, the width must be flat.
Aha, I thought that might be the case. Still, a patch will not do that!
The patch tool in Fusion will create a "boundary patch. Imagine it to work like stretching a stiff table cloth over a thin welded frame. The patch surfaces sometimes have "their own mind" 😉
