Yacht design software

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a software design package, I use autocad, ADT and 3D Studio already but am looking for a specialist software for the design of a yacht.

Also are there any hull and keel analaysis tools available.

Thanks

Nic

Have a look at the software polls on this forum

All major software packages are listed here, the poll results are a good indicator of their quality.

For keel design and analysis you could try:

http://www.vacantisw.com/ you can do lift drag analysis on the keelform you design. Vacanti is very helpful.
