The above example spreadsheet: the gallons would be mixed (resin and hardener). If you use a different ratio epoxy system you'd have to adjust for...
For estimating you could start with a simple spreadsheet. Below assumes a boat made with 5 sheets plywood at the wet film and # of coats mentioned...
I get a small delta between design draft and Calculations>Hydrostatics before I save and doublecheck the Project settings in the file. If I save...
Did you start the design in Freeship or is it read in / imported from another software?
Look in the Hydrostatics tab for a check box for moving the hull to the baseline, Delftship Free is similar. [ATTACH]
This is what I got from horizontal foil on a rudder to provide downward trim like a 'keel foil' (wing keel?). Larger surface is the rudder,...

@Grant Stretch can you tell us more specifics about the boat design? Type, shape, materials, intended construction method? At first read, without...

It looks like a 'remove and replace' job with so much cracked plastic. One hose for product and one for vent sounds correct. You'll need the hose...
I am wondering a couple things. -If making the 'cricket bat' looking leeboard, would the handle piece be better as hardwood and then the leading...
Good suggestions from @myszek and @wet feet Large format template creation via CAD/CAM/CNC is part of my day job. @Grant Stretch is it possible...
Hi @Grant Stretch , is it possible to output the Freeship plates as DXF and use another software to split the plates in half, confirm/scale to 1:1...
Is the tabernacle function needed to achieve a short term boating goal? Otherwise I'd maintain the current rig and get better sails to suit. If...
Foil- does the rudder have a shape like an airplane wing, when viewed from above? [ATTACH] Or is it something more simple like examples 1, 2, or...
Are you thinking of bulkheads on the aft end of the cabin top? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Not seeing the picture, perhaps attach it again.
