Hi all, A while back I started to create these parts: x145c0? Boat Section Bow 5 x 6 x 3 & 1/3 x146c0? Boat Section Middle 6 x 8 x 3 & 1/3 x147c0? Boat Section Stern 6 x 6 x 3 & 1/3 I completed the middle section (which was relatively easy) but got (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
