    Hey everybody!
    What is yours opinion about ship design software price? Most of the software packages are very expensive. Hou much should program cost to be availavble not only for professionals?

    If you are a very interested amature I think you could aford something like Rhino. I design kayaks/canoes and small boats and for me Rhino + Phaser is perfect.

    But you also have to ad the cost for updates and literature and courses.

    But if you are on a tight budget there are also some free programs that can be very usefull and fun to play with

    We might be able to answer your question better if you can tell us a little more about the type of ships you are thinking of designing.

    Regards,
