Yes, and I'm happy to help (although I use KiCad).
Something on my mind: @seandepagnier sells hardware, so I'm reluctant to do anything which would undercut his sales. That's not good for PyPilot in the long term. I fear that if we make it too easy, parties out there will just copy the designs and flog them.
I'm wondering if it would help if the shared designs were licensed under Creative Commons, with an -NC clause which would permit hobbyists and sailors to build their own, but not permit commercial entities to sell them.
Thoughts?

It will be for most people, but having reference designs and avenues for support will greatly lower the bar.
