Well, depends, a lot of stuff is available in metric if you are in EU 
When i moved here and i hit the imperial system, it was a mess, i still keep feet and inches if im using full measures, below that i just work in metric.
My excel spreadsheets convert in imperial, decimal imperial and metric, useful for tables of offsets if i have the patience to put the numbers in in first place, in the workshop i use a currency converter that we in Italy used during the period Euros and Liras were both up, i needed just to change the conversion factor. Honestly that little calculator its a godsend, faster than Excel, and fits in any pocket.
: Traditional boatbuilding is still in feet/inches and eights. Likely always
: will be. Rare to find plans in metric. Canoes and kayaks seem to be much
: different, depends alot on the individual background of the designer.
