Re: Software
I have a copy of plyboats and it won't run on XP for me even if I run
it through compatability. Hulls works well for simpal boats even to a
fair size.

With practice you can go from nothing to a complete sissors and tape
cardboard scale model in an hour or two.
A great way to prototype ideas.

Greg Carlson, the moderator of this group has a free program called
Hulls that is easy to use
http://www.carlsondesign.com/#Fun_Shareware
Freeship is a free program quite a bit more sophisticated than Hulls.
Bruce Hallman a major contributor to this list and probably the most
experienced at plugging in Bolger designs and extracting models or
complete boats used to use Hulls and now has moved to Freeship.

There is an old program out there that I used to use called Plyboats. It
says it will run run on XP and 2000, the last time I used it was on a
box running 98SE. I now use Hulls but the Plyboats manual has an
interesting discussion on some design considerations and aesthetics.
