In addition, there are a number of others that are not listed. Two sources of free design software are:
www.marinerkayaks.com - Robert Livingston's BEARBOAT www.carlsondesign.com - Hull Designer - 3D wireframe for hard chine boats
I have experimented with both of these, but have not built from them. The two programs come at the process of design from two different directions. With the BEARBOAT software you manipulate various parameters to influence the shape of the hull. With Hull Designer you directly manipulate points on the hull, more or less by eye. Both interesting.
Have fun - Dave
