Yes, I designed my first SoF using this software and i am delighted with the results/ I would like my next to be an Aleutian or as they say at least Aleutian"esque"

Perhaps i need to learn how to draw offsets as there are a few offset tables around for an Aleutian.

I can live without bow and stern thing as they can be "added on or in" during the building process without too much difficulty.

Has anyone used "Hulls" another freeware design software? Can you import offsets into that programme?

Brido.

: I read Ross's board couple of times a week and no one has come up with a good
: way to import anything into KF yet. I think the bow idea just isn't
: possbile with his software either.

: It's a shame too. It's great software but of course it wasn't meant to do SOF
: frame boats. But it does do what it was designed for extremely well.
