Yea, that's what I thought. FYI: The pointy end goes forward. The "bulbous" end is the stern where you sit. The only options I see is to just square it off(not very streamline), or stretch it out (which makes it bigger to transport an d store). One final option would be to square it off for now and add a aerodynamic end later. Actually, that might be a interesting experiment to see how much a difference it makes.

BTW: Any other suggestions for cheap CAD software to do this?
