If you wish to build in plywood, Carlson's Hulls is also free, fairly easy to learn and the files from Hulls can be exported to Freeship painlessly or output as .dxf files to a plotter/printer for full sized templates.

For freeship, the older version 2.6 have better abilities for import/ export (IMNSHO) It can be downloaded here (unless you buy a newer version of it): http://www.marin.ntnu.no/havromsteknologi/freeship.html

To totally destroy your spare time: http://www.freecad.com/

I also believe that there is a (free) google program out there..
I do not recall it's name nor whereabouts.

(Hark... hmm, saw now that the link above in fact was for the 2.6 version...).
