alright everybody, I am nearing the end of building a Schade Guillemot and I am getting huge pressure from my 6 yr old daughter to build her a kayak. I have been keen on the idea of designing a boat and this seems like the perfect opportunity. I'd like a boat about 10-14 feet long in typical sea-kayak style but I am having a hell of a time finding the software to do it.Nick mentions MaxSurf in his book but even the big software wholesalers here in Vancouver have no idea what I am talking about. I'm not a computer wiz but I can figure stuff out.....can I ask for some help out there for some info from folks who have done this...thanks...James
