| Toby P, It's the icon at the very top right. Looks kinda of like a knife hanging over a calculator. It opens the intersections dialog.

| Here is a picture of the plug of a 6 m. solarboat designed in Free!ship. It was exported to IGES and milled with a 5-axis machine. The boat is now under construction at the HISWA exhibition and even made it to TV and national radio! More information on the project (in Dutch) http://www.thrijswijksolarteam.nl/ |

| They are not secret anymore, since the boat went on display at the HISWA exhibition. The boat is build for the http://www.frisiannuonsolarchallenge.com/ a 220 km. endurance race for solar powered boats along a famous Dutch ice-skating route. The boat will be trimmed aft for top speed (+/- 15 Kn.) and foreward for endurance. The last generation had a problem with windage that is why we reverse-curved the sheer and rounded the deck edge. The chine promotes early planing and enhances stability for the heavy stock solar cells. It is build in carbon on a 6 mm PVC core. 2 boats will be build to test various configurations of prop and gearing. |

| FREE!ship is the best thing to happen to boat design since the invention of the pencil. A BIG thanks to the guys at FREE!ship.
