Thanks, I hadn't heard of this package. Will download and play around. Yeah I was really lucky and got to know a guy who makes novelty size letters and random objects for promotions/PR out of polystrene with a CMC!!!! I'm actually building 2 x 11ft long kayaks, inserting a shoeplate slot into the a small cockpit and attaching a shoe (much like cycling shoes), then banding the two kayaks together and using an extended paddle for propulsion - voila - walk on water.

I would love to make a 16' touring kayak if it works.... but first things first.

: Another idea that I remembered:

: If you are thinking of designing your own kayak, you can use Kayak
: Foundry to design it, export the strip building forms in CAD,
: and model the surfaces in 3D CAD. Just food for thought...

Don't put the tools before the design
