| Still using FreeShip 2.6 here. The newer DelftShip version is much less useful to me as it removes a lot of important functionality. I think Freeship 2.6 is going to stick around for some time yet.

| At nine hundred bucks, Rhino may be cheaper than something like Pro/E or Catia, but it's still a long way from free or cheap....

| Best free or low cost Marine Design Software Two-B pencil, dividers, french curves and graph paper. It seems only PC users need software. We Apple people still know how to use the traditional tools... |

| I like DelftShip free, once a tutorial was available I found it fast and easy to use, and it produces nice designs. Its a bit fiddly to get a reasonably close match to a set of existing offsets though and will not export usable plank developments so I would like to know if FreeShip is still available on the net someplace.

| FreeShip 2.6 still exists at http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeship/ although no new development is going on there since Martjin went closed-source.
