Re: Where to find boat-specific geometrical info or 3D computer model of Catalina 30

Re: Where to find boat-specific geometrical info or 3D computer model of Catalina 30

Hi Stumble,

Yeah I realize 1985 is pushing it a bit as far as likelihood of finding original files. But even 2D dwgs with cross-sectional info would have helped.

We were using CAD (and just...

Re: Where to find boat-specific geometrical info or 3D computer model of Catalina 30

Uncivilized,

Good idea to look to the hardware manufacturers too. I'd fully expect many of them have such programs with a pretty comprehensive library of parts to draw from. In fact I'd wondered...

Re: Where to find boat-specific geometrical info or 3D computer model of Catalina 30

Hi Stu,

Top of the New Year All,
