Designing your own boat?

   Has anyone had a go? I downloaded Google sketch up and had a go just for fun. I can't get it to render though :(. Post a picture of yours up!

	Made this this afternoon in a few spare hours. Influenced by several cherub designs. "Paterson 7" and "Butt Plug" being the main two. This is the first time I've used a CAD program, let alone designed a hull! So go easy! It's difficult to see the design ( ) but you might get the idea... I can send you the file if you want. You'll have to download Google Sketch up, but its free and only takes a couple of mins. Rear view Top view Front view underside view Edited by Ross

	My future aim is to design a very light, very fast single handed, hiking spinnaker boat. Edited by Ross

	Can you let me know when you find out how to 'flesh out' the design i've just had a look at it and it seems quite a good little tool, so long as you can get it to add surfaces. The boat looks pretty cool. As to your idea i saw someone at our local club tried putting a symettric kite on a non foiling moth, using the wings instead of a kite pole. Went quite well although he kept binning it on the drops. Would be interesting to see an assy kite on one.

	Not really designed by me, it's a Simon Roberts design, but changed from wings to racks and an I14 style gantry with a little bit of input from me...
