I have a set of 20 hull sections that I would like to input into a

suggestions for software that will allow me to do that?



www.carlsondesign.com has a free hull program for plywood hulls that will
do that. people who follow this newsgroup have used it. From my limited
experience with the program you could put in the offsets for the whole hull
or for one section at a time.


I've played with Carlson Hulls somewhat and it appears that you can only
input 4 or 5 sections, which isn't nearly enough for my needs. If it can
in fact accept the 20 sections that I need to input, perhaps someone can
clue me in on how it's done.
