The picture was just an illustration of the problem I am trying to solve, I do not intend to try to build that shape.

If I had posted a picture with nice straight cross sections, there would not be any concern, right? I am attaching a second picture that shows a comparison between unfolded panel shapes with an exaggerated vertical axis. One corresponds to the left body plan from my previous post and the other to a body plan with perfectly straight lines. Which one looks buildable now?

It appears to me that neither the developable surface nor the development based on vertical ruling lines is buildable. The one has high curvature in the cross sections, the other has so much twist that it will be impossible to pull the concave keel line of the unfolded panel into a convex, rockered shape. I think somewhere in between there is a happy medium with not so much curvature in the cross sections and not too much twist. I just need to find it.
