Roger Long inscribed in red ink for all to know:
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.


Roger -

Is this the one titled "From a Bare Hull" ? If so, I have it...
