Here is my Canadian Tall Ship design. I found a seperate program (not Springsharp) that allows me to input dimensions and sail area (things more pertinent to sailing ships, not motor vessels) and spits out info like sail area vs. displacement, maximum speed under sail, etc. If you guys want to check it out, here is the link:

Anyway here is the design of my sailing ship. Hope you guys like it...
Saint Laurent (Canadian Tall Ship)
General Characteristics
Ship Description= Full-rigged sailing ship
Length Overall (LOA) = 260 ft (79.27 m)
Length Waterline (LWL) = 220 ft (67.07 m)
Beam Waterline = 40 ft (12.19 m)
Draft @ normal load = 17.8 ft (5.43 m)
Normal Displacement = 6,720,000 lbs (3,000 tons)
Sail Area = 15,000 ft^2 or 1,394 m^2 from 26 sails
Main Propulsion: Sail Power
Auxiliary Propulsion: Diesel Engine (rated at 4,000 BHP) driving a single 8.9 ft diameter 4-bladed propeller at 340 RPM.
Designed Range (power): 6,000 nm @ 12 kts (motor)
Fuel Required: 352 tons (diesel oil)
Displacement-Length Ratio (D-L) = 282
Theoretical Hull Speed = 19.88 kts
Sail Area vs. Displacement = 6.74
Length to Beam Ratio = 5.5
Motion Comfort = 325.75 (higher is better)
Capsize Ratio = 0.85 (less than 2.00 is ideal)
Pounds-per-inch immersion--loading submergence (ppi) = 31,443 lbs/inch
Performance Data
Maximum Speed Under Sail: 21.2 knots (24.38 mph)
Maximum Speed Under Motor: 15.6 knots (17.94 mph)
