Which Blender addons do you recommend for ship design?
Thanks!

Extra Curve objects is handy., but generaly speaking there's no addon for ship modeling. It just depends how well you know program and what you lack. When you get to that point you'll know what you need

This one is for my, but I plan to make others for some kind of simplified kit

Let me know the moment the kit is ready. My level of skill is full-bulkhead only which makes the CAF full-rib model kit unhelpful. I hope you could do the kit in 1:64 instead of 1:72 because of the higher level of detail possible without creating too huge of a model. TYVM
 
To be honest. I have to think it more through. At this moment I'm making it for myself, but I don't reject any options. At the beginning I wanted to make only a stern model, turned out I was capable of more. I still have Soleil Royal to finish and have little dilemma which direction to choose
 
@WojtasS, thanks for your post. you mentioned the following in your first post:
I had to really squise potential from Blender and made a loft of hull in one program without any other CAD software. It turns out with enough addons blender
has enough CAD-like functions to properly loft a hull.

Would it be possible to know which Blender's addons you find essential? a thousand thanks.

Someone has already asked a similar question. Not much has changed in the answer. You need to work with the programme and browse through guides to see which functions seem to make your work easier, but this is an individual matter.
