    I have 2 boats (and soon a third) I am rebuilding/restoring and would like to get them on a program so I can play with a few hull & cosmetic ideas.
    I have pics but dont know how to get the dimensions on the comp.

    I have downloaded freeship and delftship and cant find any file close to what I need.

    My boats are Cigarette style Offshore hulls. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will have to learn the programs.

    There are some tutorials around here, use the forums search function.

    Regards

    I can help you out. See here to start with. When it says to load your background image, instead of a lines plan, select your photos. Otherwise, the steps should be mostly the same.
