What is the best way to make a ships hull ?
I want to make a ship but am not sure how to make the Hull of the ship. It needs to have a lot of curves.
Are there any videos that would help?

One way would to use the the "Lofted Boss/Base" command (Features). Create multiple planes along the length of the hull, then "Sketch" the various profiles (curves) on each of the planes to get the overall shape, then create the "Loft".
See example attached. Was created as half the hull, then "mirrored" and then "shelled". This should give you the idea... Let us see see your new ship when you get it completed.
I found one place for Google SketchUp.
