    I have an idea for a small boat design and I am trying to find someone who will take my idea and draw up the basic plans (plywood etc) so that I could make it from the plans they create. Does anyone know the type of person or company that I should approach?

    Be very careful when someone on the internet claims thay can do something for you. Be sure to do due dilligence and get examples of their performance doing the same type of job you are looking to have done.

    You don't need a design

    All you need to do to start is to draw a pictiure of THE boat that is your heart's desire!

    Then get a roll of scotch tape, a hefty pair of scizzors and some cardboard...

    Cut and tape a model of the bitchenest boat that you can conjure up!

    (do it in your livingroom tonight)

    Once you have a cardboard model, then you need to establish the cardinal dimensions--overall length, width at the widest point, width of transome, etc.


    use your construction/woodworking skills to complete the project.

    There is no magic to building a boat hull....

    I had the feeling he is uncomfortable with drawing. To be honest I am also very bad in drawing by hand. But here is FreeShip, I can draw my plans with it, and it creates the plate development for me. I print it, and the model is soon ready.

    Ron would you elaborate about your idea?
