I believe there is a new version of Bearboat coming out but i don't know much about that one.

So far it looks like i'll try the kayak foundry idea since i am a little familar with it.

: Freeship allows you to import a text file that has contains the xyz locations
: of points that lie on the chines. There are rules... there must be an
: equal no. of points in each chine, the chines must start at the keelson
: & go upward, the points must be specified from stern to stem etc. but
: it does work.

: I use this method many times to take a hull form I have drawn in my CAD
: system into freeship to analyse the h/statics, tweak the shape etc.
