Hydrostatics Content

I initially wrote a hydrostatics program in Excel for my first design ever (YP design). I did this because when I made a small change in the hull shape, I wanted to immidiately know the effects on center of buoyancy. I was also able to "balance" CG and CB automatically.

Since then, I wrote another spreadsheet for a specific sailboat, but have now made my spreadsheet for sailboats in general.

The problem with it is:
1) it's ugly
2) it's hard to use
3) there is no "help"

Well, I'm probably going to redo the spreadsheet, and then rewrite the program in another language.
