I am trying to make a Uru Kayak and the nearest i can get to a boat is this tutorial it's like about six steps that just plain don't work the way the tutorial says.

Is there any chance someone who knows what they are doing could have a quick look at it and get it so it works.

I can get my boat ribs by using add curve bezier (the one they say is not there)

I can subdivide (because the split button suggested does not exist.

And Join just jumps all of the curves to a single plane AHHHHHHHHHH! probably because you have to use bezier.

Negative, you must use a surface NURBS curve,
ALL CURVES MUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF CONTROL POINTS

SHift+D as many times as you like for the length of the boat
adjust the handles of each curve to alter the design of the boat
Press B to border select all the curves
CTRL+J to join all the curves into 1
Press F

And your done
