"Amaturish to be sure but it shows what can be done." Miron Sutton, 1969

TurboCAD 3D ver 5, an old one, will read .bmp files so I scanned in the sail plan for Prairie Islander. Little scanner so 6 or 9 pieces had to be stitched together once scanned. From there I scaled it to full size and have found it to be quite handy to see how things are going to fit and look once installed. The anchor, for example, was scanned from CQR's site, scaled full size, and moved around to get some impression of how it might fit.
Since I was lucky to have barely enough room to loft the hull lines full zise being able to draw details on the screen has really been handy.
