    Would like to make some half hulls for my dock mates as christmas presents. Hunter will not supply line drawings, still working with Catalina. Any body out there have copies of the design lines for the C34, H36 and H38? Not looking for anything exotic, simple 1 page with the lines shown in fore/aft and side views will work.

    Thanks.

    PS I finally got the PCsail program to work. Thanks for the replies.

    RE: Lines

    Thanks for the reply. You are probably right, but how many secrets are there to production boats? The C34 is approaching 20 years old. Walk around any marina/sales office and they are sitting on the hard on stands not covered/draped like the VOR and America's Cup boats. Commercial vendors have models for sale, either they have a relationship with the builders or have developed their own plans.

    PS we are good friends with Capt. Casey who runs the Captain's School in Cape Coral, you have a beautiful town.

    If you can take picts of the hull in side, end's, and bottom view, then using TouchCad you can get real close to the hull shape. Then it is just a matter of making some e-templates.
