    Hi everybody,

    I just uploaded a spreadsheet in the keel design category. This is a spreadsheet to create and analyze Rhinoceros-models of keels and rudders with a few basic input values. It's all based on the formulas in "Principles of Yacht Design", plus some basic trigonometry. Section coordinates data to be generated with some external program though, I used Javafoil.

    Any comments/ improvements welcome.

    It really does not replace the "wizards" in the high-end design programs, but to the basic Rhino user, greatly reduces trial-and-error time in designing foils.

    Greetings,
    Jarmo
