Vessel outline
The vessel outline puts the boat at the centre of a dial, so every angle on the dial reads relative to the bow. It is a thin line in the vessel role, drawn behind everything that carries data.
Figure 1: The outline stops short of the readout window.
Draw a sailboat's hull
The hull is a sailboat's, not a powerboat's. Its sides curve back in toward a narrow stern of about 60 % of the beam and turn smoothly into a transom that bows aft, with no sharp corners.
- Wind page. About 163 × 556 px, centred on x = 360, from the bow at y = 82 to the transom at y = 638.
- Reason. The MDD displays are made for leisure vessels, primarily sailboats.

Keep the line at 3 px with round ends
The outline is a 3 px line with round ends and round joins, and no heavier.

Break the outline at the readout
Where the hull passes the readout window, the line stops 4 px clear above and below the window rather than running behind it.

Keep the outline behind the data
The outline sits behind the window, the needle and the SCADYS mark. The space it leaves between bow and pivot sets where the mark and the alert can go.

Use the vessel marker on the cross-track bar
On the navigation page the vessel appears as a marker at the centre of the cross-track bar, in the vessel role, with the cross-track value inside it.

The night colour of the vessel role, a blue in the draft, which the night-vision review ranks high for rod stimulus. An amber or dim red outline is the alternative. Tracked in ux/tokens/palette.json, open items.
