Is there any Free software to Assist in Sail Planning and Ballast Placement?

I think that I can use Freeship to adjust the placement of trim but what about the affects of ballast placement on ship handling?

What software can I use to design a Sailplan for my sailboat (free or low cost). Is there software to design the riging loads and the sails? and then model on my hull design?

Thanks...

There is free sail design software from www.sailcut.com however you cannot export the sail as a 3d design. It will however export the panels needed to build the sail in 2d dxf format.
