Default Anyone have the Ferenc Mate book on the Westsail 32?

Has anyone out there got a copy of the Ferenc Mate book that has lines of
the Westsail 32 in it?

Buried in the thread on the boat below is a debate on the antecedents of the
hull lines which is a question that has always interested me. If someone
will email me an image of the Westsail lines (from any source actually) I'll
process them with the lines from the Atkin site and post something on mine
that permits direct comparison.

It's an interesting question since Atkin used Colin Archer's lines by simply
scaling them down. The question is whether Crealock simply modified them to
accommodate fiberglass construction or "improved" them in the process.
