Simple boat plans

Hi I would like to work with a person that can draw simple 3d autoCAD hull plans of a basic stitch and glue hull of my own basic design. It is important that the plans show developed sizes because lofting is very difficult. It is very easy to draw a curve on paper but to cut plywood panels accurately is a bitch. It would be great if I could find this person in South Africa. I have the facilities and means to build a small fun house boat cum booze cruiser for usage on the Vaal dam and river. I am 53 and have built and sailed a dingy, done a lot of wood work and love it. I live in Pretoria
