    Greetings all

    Ciao

    For the analysis You will need access to a FEA package.
    We use one called Strand which is very good. See what your department has.

    For the design you can probably download a free canoe model. Look at the student edition of Maxsurf perhaps. Or draw one using your departments adopted CAD software.
