BearboatPrint

BearboatPrint, the latest version 1.0, is a specialized program developed by bearboat. This software falls under the System Utilities category with a specific focus on Archivers. It's designed to read BBPF files produced by Bearboat Pro or BearboatSP and print cross-sections of kayak designs. The program file size is 1.5 MB, making it a lightweight utility that won’t take up much space on your hard drive.

BearboatPrint's primary function is to take data from a BBPF file and create lifesize drawings. This is invaluable for users who need precise physical renderings of kayak designs. Essentially, it allows the user to print out profiles of both the bow and the stern, aiding significantly in the step-by-step creation of a kayak.

However, there are some limitations. Supported only on Windows 7, this PC-exclusive tool might pose a challenge for Mac users. They will either need a PC or have to use Bootcamp mode to take advantages of BearboatPrint. This, understandably, could be a hassle but is currently necessary due to the complexity of integrating multiple printer drivers.

For those looking to try out the program, it is available for free download. This makes it an affordable yet powerful addition to any kayak designer's toolkit.

To summarize:

Pros:

• Lightweight with a program file size of 1.5 MB.
• Specifically tailored for kayak building needs.
• Available as a free download.

Cons:

• Supports only Windows 7, which may inconvenience Mac users.
• Solely designed for reading and printing BBPF files, limiting its use to specific applications.
