I dodn't know the names of the programs I've used, but I first typed the
table of offsets into the free program from Blue Peter Designs

(Just to crearify, that must be Hullform)


Thanks for your comments!

I used "hulls" to design my small sail / outboard / row boat, see
www.wemfish.supanet.com I just played with the figures untill it
looked right! ok so it's not finnished yet but I am confident that it
will be a fine "fun" boat. . . .

Did you find it to operate as you believed it would?

If you mean did it give usable offsets then yes it did.

if its your first attempt at building a boat then it leaves the
figuring out how you are going to construct the boat to you, it does
not draw the plans for you!!

A little human thinking is pleasant.

Now I got the hull into Hullform too.

According to hobby standards my project is probably to big, but I don't
care. But I'm slowly taking controll of the parameters.

Looked at your building pictures. Very nice! Will there be any more
projects?
